All Unix-based platforms with an X11 implementation -- i.e, it even runs, using X11 and fink,
on OS X, and some versions appear to run on Windows using cygwin, but I've never seen that
myself. Jaroslaw would know, I would guess.

That would be great. He's in the USA, right? That's a bit of a problem for phone
questions and so on, given that most people are in Europe. Is our IRC channel
populated round the clock? Anyway, unless someone with broader knowledge of
all apps stands up, you can give him my email address.

We may try to create a special pre-release of 1.5 for him, there are so many
improvements that 1.4.2 would be a waste of time.
