Interesting... I moved away from Watcom (10.6) to EMX specifically for C++
support.  I don't use namespaces nor exceptions, but I *do* use the STL. 
Watcom worked for this, but wasn't worth the hassle of non-standard make
files for the difference.  I find much more help/support available for EMX.

Since that move, I've switched a large part of my OS/2 work to Visual Age. 
Why?  'Cuz I need it for work, so I have a large pool of makefiles and code
to pool from if I need something.  It also is easier to write API calls in
(i.e., I can *almost* cut&paste from the API docs into my code).  This
is in part due to the fact that EMX doesn't have the full OS/2 API
available (i.e., #define'ing something then #include'ing OS2.H doesn't give
all the APIs).  Also, when writing JNI, I'm not sure if javah will create
the right headers for EMX...
