* Information about a Windows version of AERO.
************************************************************************

One of the most often asked questions is whether we have a precompiled
version of AERO for Windows (95, NT, ...). The answer is no, we
haven't. 

There are versions available for different machine platforms, but they
all have to be Unix compatible and must support the X-Window System.
Each of these versions can be generated by simply recompiling AERO on
the target machine.

A version for MS-Windows would not only imply to recompile under
Windows, but also to modify or even rewrite large parts of the display
and editor routines. As we all are involved in new projects now, we
don't have enough time to do this. And (believe it or not) we don't
have a Windows computer at hand to do the development.

However, if someone else does the conversion, we'll be glad to add
this to our "official" AERO release.

So at the moment the only way to get AERO run on a PC is to install
Linux. There is a precompiled Linux version of AERO on our ftp server.
