  20. <p>The Boost web site provides free, peer-reviewed, C++ <a href="libs/libraries.htm">libraries</a>.
  21. The emphasis is on portable libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
  22. Library.</p>
  23. <p><a href="more/lib_guide.htm">Library Requirements and Guidelines</a> and <a href="more/submission_process.htm">Library
  24. Submission Process</a> provides basic information for library authors.</p>
