 Portability
 ===========
 
    Since Wget uses GNU Autoconf for building and configuring, and avoids
 using "special" ultra-mega-cool features of any particular Unix, it
 should compile (and work) on all common Unix flavors.
 
    Various Wget versions have been compiled and tested under many kinds
 of Unix systems, including Solaris, Linux, SunOS, OSF (aka Digital
 Unix), Ultrix, *BSD, IRIX, and others; refer to the file `MACHINES' in
 the distribution directory for a comprehensive list.  If you compile it
 on an architecture not listed there, please let me know so I can update
 it.
 
    Wget should also compile on the other Unix systems, not listed in
 `MACHINES'.  If it doesn't, please let me know.
 
    Thanks to kind contributors, this version of Wget compiles and works
 on Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms.  It has been compiled
 successfully using MS Visual C++ 4.0, Watcom, and Borland C compilers,
 with Winsock as networking software.  Naturally, it is crippled of some
 features available on Unix, but it should work as a substitute for
 people stuck with Windows.  Note that the Windows port is *neither
 tested nor maintained* by me--all questions and problems should be
 reported to Wget mailing list at <wget@sunsite.dk> where the
 maintainers will look at them.
