| Boost C++ Libraries Submitted by

Maybe this is old news to some, but I recently found out about Boost. Boost is a repository of free, portable, peer-reviewed C++ libraries. It acts as a proving ground for new libraries, some of which may eventually be proposed for addition to the ISO C++ Standard Library. Some of the libraries are:

> - Conversion: Numeric, polymorphic, and lexical casts.
> - CRC.
> - Memory Pool management.
> - Static (compile time) assert.
> - Tokenizer.
> - Quaterion math library.
> - Special math functions like atanh, sinc, and sinhc.
> - Regular expressions.
> - Smart pointers.

If you are used to working with the STL, I think Boost is a very cool collection of libraries that handle a number of common, recurring tasks.
Download Boost from ftp://boost.sourceforge.net/pub/boost/release/

The zip file viewer built into the Developer Toolbox made use of the zlib library, as well as the zlibdll source additions.
