<h1>Welcome to Boost.org!</h1>
<p>The Boost web site provides free, peer-reviewed, C++ <a href="libs/libraries.htm">libraries</a>.
The emphasis is on portable libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
Library.</p>
<p><a href="more/lib_guide.htm">Library Requirements and Guidelines</a> and <a href="more/submission_process.htm">Library
Submission Process</a> provides basic information for library authors.</p>
<p>If you are interested in who writes the libraries and maintains the web site,
check out <a href="people/people.htm">people</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="more/faq.htm">FAQ</a> answers questions we hope someone will
bother to ask.</p>
<p>You may <a href="boost_all.zip">download all of boost</a> as a single ZIP
file. Click here for <a href="libs/libraries.htm#Download">download</a>
details.&nbsp; The source code is also publicly accessible in a CVS <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=boost">repository</a>.</p>
<p>See <a href="status/compiler_status.html">Compiler Status</a> to find out what
library works with which compiler.</p>
