Hi Matt,
         thanks for the reply. I've tried working may different 
incantations of BOOST_PP_REPEAT_ ## z etc for the past few hours and I'm 
getting nowhere fast. Working with the preprocessor is so vastly 
different from interacting with the standard c++ environment that I'm 
having difficulty grasping the basic concepts and there doesn't seem to 
be much in the way of very simple examples anywhere. This is especially 
annoying as preprocessor code is difficult to read and the error 
messages make little sense. I generally loathe handholding, but in this 
case I'm not above asking for a dig out. Any chance you could point out 
the obvious to me?

Regards,
          Colin
