is expected, also, that it will eventually run on a variety of

other platforms than just Linux, but for now, despite existing

files that might indicate otherwise, that's it. Feel free, if

you like, to submit patches to change that, though; you do not

have to wait for me to port it -- I expect that I will, but it

may not be for a while. :-) FWIW, Solaris and IRIX are next.

ttyload has been shown to run on systems running, at least:
|
||||
|
||||
- Linux (at least some configs of it -- I'm using a SuSE 6.x box
|
||||
to build it on.)
|
||||
- IRIX 6.5 (and possibly other versions?)
|
||||
|
||||
Hopefully soon it will also run on:
|
||||
|
||||
- Solaris
|
||||
- FreeBSD
|
||||
|
||||
Feel free, if you like, to submit patches to add more platforms,
|
||||
and please let me know also if it runs unmodified on any other
|
||||
platforms.
