These are platforms that BetaFTPD is known to run on (`Supported' means that
each new major version will be tested on this platform):

Linux, libc5
------------
Slackware 3.5. Compiles, partly tested. Not supported anymore, so don't expect
new releases to be tested here.

Linux, libc6 (i*86-pc-linux-gnu)
--------------------------------
Slackware 3.4 (upgraded to glibc 2.1) and Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (glibc 2.0).
Debian is previously tested and known to work well, but since I had to move the
computer away, I can't test it anymore. It should work, though.  Tested and
working on Slackware (my main system). Should work fine on most Linux
distributions.

SunOS 5.5 (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1)
----------------------------------
Compiles, runs, not very much testing. (Not tested lately, due to lack of
root on a SunOS system, and nonroot still being bad.)

FreeBSD
-------
Compiles, runs, not very much testing. (No sendfile() support, though.)

Windows (cygwin)
----------------
Well... Compiles, runs (barely), not much testing. Lacks several important
features such as mmap(), not to mention the lack of a proper user system.
Anonymous FTP not tested, only non-anonymous. Nonroot not tested, but a working
nonroot system would probably be cruical to make it work properly.  To sum it
up: Get an FTP server made for Windows instead ;-)

In other words, as of today BetaFTPD works properly on Linux and FreeBSD
ONLY...  If you feel an urge to change this, please do step forward and offer
to port it. I've got access to both FreeBSD and SunOS-machines (thanks to very
friendly people who've given me shell access), but due to Internet time
restrictions and general lack of time, I really can't take care of all other
patforms.

All others
----------
Totally unknown. If you want to help out, here are some things that will
help (in descending order):

1. That you can take responsibility for adjusting each new version of BetaFTPD
   to your OS.
2. If #1 isn't possible, just a note that it works (if it works!) or patches to
   make the latest version work. (Note that this is now preferred over #3 -- it
   wasn't so earlier.)
3. If #2 isn't possible, that I can get (permanent; I'll probably need to check
   later versions...) shell access to a computer with that OS.  Optionally, you
   could always send me a fresh HD with that OS installed :-)
