Or how about a "pseudo listing" for each additional platform. Only the three
present colors would be needed. And the download links could point to the
same file.

Failing that I suggest that each file listing begin with:


PLATFORMS: DOS, WINDOWS, LINUX  - file description

PLATFORMS: DOS, LINUX  -- file description

but not
PLATFORM: WINDOWS  - the color code alone would indicate a single platform
file

I am thinking of bundling files some old files for whichthere is no
indication of LINUX compatibility together and submitting them in a package
to be listed under the LINUX color code.  For example all the compression
routines posted will run under LINUX.
