Just tell me the names of the
programs that you have tested.
How about this proposal.
I will create a 4th color. I think gray was mentioned.
It will indicate generic code that should (probably) work on all
platforms. EDS is a good example (it has actually been *tested*
on all platforms), or the compression routines that you mentioned.
Right now Junko and I are labelling all this generic code as DOS.
I will go back and recolor some of the old files as gray.
I will also recolor any files as gray that someone
reports to work with little or no change
on all platforms.
When a file works on two platforms only, I will
list it with the color of the platform that it
was tested on, and I will try to say "should also work on xxx".
Remind me if I miss something.
I don't want to create a lot of work for Junko and myself.
I can't afford to read through the code line by line,
nor can I afford to reboot into Linux and test all contributions.
I imagine that in many cases, a trivial change, like
changing a backslash to a slash will be necessary to
actually make it work. I don't have time to do that, but if
someone tells me that something works on another platform
with little or no change required, then I will add that fact to
the Web site.
