Nod I found the documents accessible all you have to do for example if you
want the documents for threads is to first go to the main page
www.boost.org. Then I search for the Document link rather than tabbing down
to it and hit enter on it. Then I search for the library I want since I am
using threads as an example I search for thread. That will take you right
to the link for that library. Press enter on it and you should be in
Chapter 15 which is the thread chapter. If instead of hitting enter on
thread you arrow up and down you will find the other libraries and hitting
enter on them will take you to their respective chapters.

Agreed. I would concider native functionality in c++ those found in the stl,
plus stuff on the C library, as file management functions like fopen and
such. Anything out of the stl and the C library can not be concidered
native. I however should have replied to his message the following way:
Threads are not still supported natively in c++, so you will have either to
use the specific operating system functions to use threads, or download a
good portable library which will do it for you, like the boosts one or the
zThreads one.
btw, I think the boosts site confusing, I am not able to find documentation.
Could you find the documentation easily and in an accessible format?

When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just stare at
you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for free."
