I have developed Interchange on Linux from the beginning, but I have
made many efforts to support all Unices, even attempts to support
Mac and Windows.

Someone posted about segfaults and core dumps -- those unfortunate
occurrences really don't have anything to do with Interchange; it has no
C code in it. That is a bad Perl port, usually.

If a portability problem is posted to Bugzilla, we pursue it as we can.
