<h1>
Availability on various platforms
</h1>The system is to be available (at CERN) on many sorts of
machine, but priorities must be decided. A list comprises:
<ul>
<li>A unix or VMS workstation with X-windows
</li>
<li>An 80 character terminal attached to a unix or VMS
machine, or an MSDOS PC
</li>
<li>An 80 character terminal attached to an IBM mainframe
running VM/CMS
</li>
<li>A Macintosh
</li>
<li>A unix workstation with NextStep
</li>
<li>An MS-DOS/Windows PC
</li>
</ul>The order above does not imply a priority. It may be that
the implementation on one system will lead more easily to an
implementation on one of the others, and this would in practice
change the order of porting. The requirement for 80 column
terminals to be useable (emphasized by M. Goossens) follows
from low budgets of many of our users.
<p>
The order of implementation of special browsers at CERN is a
function of what manpower available.
