Hello,

Did you read the entire page that said a FBSD port existed? Look more
closely:


>Existing ports: MIPS, Sparc (sunos and solaris), Alpha, linux,
>netbsd and freebsd, RS/6000, 68000 Mac (unsupported), and HP.

"[N]ow that Win95...is out"? How old is this information? 


>From the bug list: Thu, 12 Oct 95    
>From the introduction: March 1, 1994 
>From the "roadmap": February 3, 1997 

The "roadmap" date is the latest one I could find, and that is on a
linked site. The latest on the site itself is Spring 1996.


Hint, hint,

Can NACHOS run on Windows?
--------------------------
No.  Not at this time.  We're planning to port but it turned out
harder than it appeared; now that Win95 (finally, a real OS from
Microsoft!) is out, maybe we'll try it again.
