What appeals to me is (from way back) that I can build Regina and THE
reliably from source. I used at least two other REXX implementations and
had trouble building them ... at some point along the road. Lately it
matters less. (about build ability)
So ... I have built and run THE and Regina on ...
Linux i386
Linux s390
FreeBSD
CYGWIN
Linux sparc
Linux s390x
Linux x86_64
Might have also done Linux ppc. I'm sure there was also a Solaris and an
AIX. Of you're on multiple platforms, ya like yer toys to be there.
Pretty sure someone built Regina for USS, maybe THE too.
