As I'm using WinXP, so I don't have that luck. So do all other Windows
users.
Is it possible to collect all the stuff somewhere in the boost package and
add
a simple tool that can deploy all of them automatically or

Anyway, the diagram is a great step forward, at least for me.
Without it, all of the *Book stuff is a mess in my mind. :-)

Thanks again.
