(And please--feel free to submit your portability changes!) 26*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome 27*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome(Note: Ficl used to build under RiscOS, but we broke everything 28*a1bf3f78SToomas Soomefor the 4.0 release. Please fix it and send us the diffs!) 29*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome 30*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome____________ 31*a1bf3f78SToomas SoomeFICL LICENSE 32*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome 33*a1bf3f78SToomas SoomeRedistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without 34*a1bf3f78SToomas Soomemodification, are permitted provided that the following conditions 35*a1bf3f78SToomas Soomeare met: 36*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome1.
