  The rumours are untrue.  What happened is that Guidelines 3.1 Base Pack
  actually supported EMX C++ 0.9a.  The runtime libraries were built with
  EMX C++ by the developers.

  For various reasons, including but not limited to the fact that support
  for EMX C++ would be a significant outlay in terms of development,
  maintenance, and support costs for zero return in terms of sales, the
  powers that be at JBA decided not to ship those libraries.

  ( It's pretty hard to make a case that people who opt for free C++
    compilers will spend money on other tools, or that EMX C++ will not
    incur massive support costs when the nets are full of people who have
    problems with EMX -- for which problems EMX users really only have
    themselves to blame.  Pay JBA enough money, and I'm sure that EMX C++
    runtimes would be forthcoming immediately.  )
