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 ?  How can I get the devel version of the code ?  Sorry if these seem like newbie questions.

Again, thanks for the info.
