Devel Boost.Test can do much better:  

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(foo)  
{  
vector<float> a, b;  

BOOST_TEST( a == b, tolerance(1e-5) );  
BOOST_TEST( a <= b, percent_tolerance = 1e-5 );  
}  

BOOST_TEST_DECORATOR(  
-tolerance = 1e-7  
)  
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(goo)  
{  
vector<float> a, b;  
BOOST_TEST( a > b );  
BOOST_TEST( a != b );  
}  

e.t.c.

Gennadiy, thanks for pointing it out and taking the time to answer.

I had read some of that in the archive threads.

When is the devel Boost.Test expected to become the main version ? Â How can I get the devel version of the code ? Â Sorry if these seem like newbie questions.

Again, thanks for the info.
