 and perl. This release is known to work on the following platforms:
 
-  * i386-unknown-{linux,freebsd,mingw32}
+  * i386-unknown-{linux,*bsd,mingw32}
   * sparc-sun-solaris2
+  * alpha-dec-osf3
+  * powerpc-apple-darwin (MacOS/X)
 
 Ports to the following platforms should be relatively easy (for a
 wunderhacker), but haven't been tested due to lack of time/hardware:
 
   * hppa1.1-hp-hpux{9,10}
   * i386-unknown-solaris2
-  * alpha-dec-osf{2,3}
   * mips-sgi-irix{5,6}
   * {rs6000,powerpc}-ibm-aix
