Here is my current list of supported platforms. The outstanding issues
are:

aix/3.5 - anyone able to test? Success on aix4.x good enough??
hpux/9.0.x - anyone testing? there are installation differences with
hpux10.20. Supported?
irix5 - is irix6 testing enough? Should we just say irix is supported?
dec/alpha - any progress? Someone able to help on the inlining assembler
problems?
linux/alpha - any progress?
mklinux/ppc - still core dumping on regression tests? why??
sco - anyone able to test? If not, moving to unsupported list :(
svr4 - anyone able to test? If not, ...
ultrix4 - any users anymore? If not, ...
nextstep - moving to unsupported list unless someone claims v6.3
success.

Any platforms missing from the complete list below?

I'd like to wrap this up by Feb. 25. Actually, I must finish by about
then to be able to put this info into new docs.
