I've chased the issue down to the line:
#elif defined(BOOST_MSVC) && (BOOST_MSVC == 1300) && 
defined(BOOST_DINKUMWARE_STDLIB) && (1/*BOOST_DINKUMWARE_STDLIB == 1310*/)

which I've modified on MY system as you see.
apparently BOOST_DINKUMWARE_STDLIB is NOT equal to 1310
because that clears up the errors in all but one of my programs

the remaining error is:
c:\Boost Releases\boost\boost\detail\iterator.hpp(115) : error C2061: 
syntax error : identifier 'value_type'
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\include\xlocmon(227) : 
fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping 
compilation

I have NO idea what's causing that.

I _will_ try to chase down what value  BOOST_DINKUMWARE_STDLIB has
didn't someone say there was a way to convert a value to printable and get 
it OUT of the preprocessor somehow?
