Hi again.  Long time no post, although I've been occasionally reading things
via the archives...

Was there ever any success in the boost switching regulator design?  Roman's
two-transistor buck converter is lovely, but I'd also like to be able to get
5V from a 3V (or even 1.5V) battery...  (TI has an app note for their MSP430
that provides ~2.4V from a single cell using transistor astable oscillator,
push-pull driver, and capacitive voltage multiplier, but it's very oriented
to the tiny current requirements of MSP320/LCD systems...)

Thanks
Bill W
