+<h2>Installing Boost Libraries</h2>
+<p>Many boost libraries are implemented entirely within their header
+files.&nbsp; The only preparation for their use is to add the path for the
+parent directory of the boost header sub-directory to your compiler's list of
+#include search directories.</p>
+<blockquote>
+  <p>For example, using Windows 2000, if you have unzipped release 1.18.1 from
+  boost_all.zip into the top level directory of your C drive, for Borland, GCC,
+  and Metrowerks compilers add '-Ic:/boost_1_18_1' to the compiler command line,
+  and for the Microsoft compiler add '/I &quot;c:/boost_1_18_1&quot;'.&nbsp; For
+  IDE's, add 'c:/boost_1_18_1' (or whatever you have renamed it to) to the
+  search list using the appropriate GUI dialog.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>A few boost libraries are implemented by separate source files, and thus
+require compilation on your system to link properly.&nbsp; Boost does not
+currently have an overall &quot;build&quot; or &quot;make&quot; mechanism in
+place.</p>
