emx-0.9a is the latest version.

For USA sites:
	ftp-os2.cdrom.com:	/pub/os2/32bit/unix/emx09a/
	ftp-os2.nmsu.edu:	/pub/os2/32bit/unix/emx09a/
	(Read README.DOC and INSTALL.DOC first.  Needs emxfix02.zip also.)

However, unless you are using OS/2 but only MSDOS/Windows, why do you get 
emx/gcc?  I think djgpp is excellent and enough for DOS.
(E.g.: djgpp's graphics support (VCPI) is much better than emx/gcc's.)
