-Unix systems, on a variety of types of cpu. It also works on VMS and
-on Apollo computers, though with some deficiencies that reflect
-problems in these operating systems. See the file `MACHINES' in this
-directory (see above) for a full list of machines that GNU Emacs has
-been tested on, with machine-specific installation notes and warnings.
-There is also an MS-DOS version that works on MS-DOS and all platforms
-that have some kind of ``DOS box'', and also an MS-Windows and a Mac
-version.

-Note that there is significant variation between Unix systems
-supposedly running the same version of Unix; it is possible that what
-works in GNU Emacs for me does not work on your system due to such an
-incompatibility. Since I must avoid reading Unix source code, I
-cannot even guess what such problems may exist.
