I have no idea what you are talking about.  I sent "plain text", not a formatted or rich message in any manner whatsoever.

I always do.  Outlook must have gotten confused when I pasted material in that was on the clipboard from the debugger.  I'm sorry about that.

Since Boost is being used by other projects in the suite, I don't want to "change" anything or mess up their builds.  I'm wondering how it manages to work for anyone, though, at this point.

Looking at my project, the #define's are:

WIN32;_DEBUG;_CONSOLE;_HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0;NO_DLL_INTERFACE

that last one turns off the __declspec(import/export) attributes in some of the source files I'm compiling, and should not affect anything else.  The others are normal Windows stuff.

It's straight from the example.

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
 {
 cout << "running." << endl;
 namespace po = boost::program_options;
 po::options_description desc("Allowed options");
 desc.add_options()
            ("help", "produce help message")
            ("COM", po::value<bool>(), "test COM implementation")
            ;
 po::variables_map vm;
//////////// crashes in that constructor
