This is worth reading:

"MetaCard 2.5 is supported on 68K and PPC Macintosh systems running 
MacOS 7.1 through 9.X, with a separate Carbon engine for use with Mac OS 
X. The Win32 engine runs on Windows 95, 98 and NT and Windows 3.1 
systems with the Win32s library (see the README for installation 
instructions and a list of features not available under Win32s). Nine 
popular UNIX/X11 platforms are also supported: Solaris SPARC, Solaris 
x86, DEC Alpha, SGI IRIS, HP-9000/700, IBM RS/6000, SCO ODT, BSD UNIX, 
Linux Intel, and LinuxPPC."

Personally, I'm extremely 'turned on' by this bit:

"Nine popular UNIX/X11 platforms are also supported: Solaris SPARC, 
Solaris x86, DEC Alpha, SGI IRIS, HP-9000/700, IBM RS/6000, SCO ODT, BSD 
UNIX, Linux Intel, and LinuxPPC."

most of those options have become Boojums with RunRev; i.e. they have 
softly and silently
vanished away.

which is an awful shame

NOW . . . the big and burning question has to be . . . How many of the 
features implemented
after RR 2.2.1 will function in builds made with 'Mortal Engines' ?
