 Platform Notes
 ==============
 
+All platforms

+Linux

+	The Linux libc 5.4.45 disables locale support in programs running

+	Don't try "--with-rx", because you won't be able to match

+
+	Also, the system curses library is said to be badly broken.  Use

+
+	/bin/sh is broken on this platform.  You need the
