Boost provides not just data structures but seems to be a grab bag of =E2=80=9Cgenerally useful=E2=80=9D libraries. I=E2=80=99d rather leave i= t alone and create a new, independent =E2=80=9Cdatastructures=E2=80=9D module with =E2=80=9Csp= arsehash=E2=80=9D as the first occupant. Would that be acceptable? ~~ Ricardo
