<h2>Platform-Specific Info & Pre-compiled Binaries</h2>
My 'home' system is Solaris.  I also did the Win32 mingW port.
All other binaries are provided by the person who did the port (thanks!).
If you succeed in porting ploticus to a yet-unsupported platform,
and are willing to make the binaries available 
(either on your own web site or by email on request)
please contact me and I will link to you from here.
