It's certainly possible, though there's a lot of work that needs doing in order to make such things happen and we're a bit short-handed, so we simply keep working on what will bring us the greatest amount of return (i386). A SPARC port was done, but it sort of mouldered and is waiting for David to pick it up again when HE has time (it's penciled in for August 21st, 2007 on his calendar I think). Someone is working on an ALPHA port, but he's been pretty quiet about it. I'll let him volunteer any further information, if he has any. Terry talks about doing a PowerPC port fairly often - does that count for anything? :-) Jordan
