+<h2>Compiler Support</h2>
+
+Boost.MultiArray was designed with compiler support in mind.
+    Interface compromises were kept to a minimum, but efforts were
+    made to account for C++ Standard compliance issues in compilers
+    that were popular at the time the library was written.  That said, 
+    Boost.MultiArray has been tested with the following compilers:
+<ol>
+<li> Gnu C++ Compiler v2.95.2 (compile with <tt>-ftemplate-depth-50</tt>)
+<li> Gnu C++ Compiler v3.0.2
+<li> Kuck and Associates C++ Compiler v4.0f
+<li> Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 sp5
+<li> Comeau C++ Compiler v4.2.45 beta 2 (libcomo beta 14)
+<li> Intel C++ Compiler v5.0 (with MS lib v6.0 sp5)
+<li> Metrowerks CodeWarrior C++ Compiler v7.1
+</ol>
+
+Boost.MultiArray is known to NOT work with Borland C++ v5.5.1. 
+Support for this compiler is forthcoming.
+
+
+<h2>Future Work</h2>
+
+The following is a list of work that is intended for the near future
+ -- following the initial addition of the library to the Boost
+    distribution:
+<ol>
+<li> Pursue and document performance issues related to compilers and
+	implementation.
+<li> More comprehensive examples of using the library components.
+<li> Extensive rewrite of the user documentation to make it more accessible.
+</ol>
