mICQ is very portable and runs on Linux, DOS, OS/2, Win32, BeOS, AmigaOS, GNU HURD and any other modern unix system. mICQ version 0.5 is known to run on Linux, AIX, HPUX, Tru64, AmigaOS, partially BeOS and other unices. However, the other ports may or may not still work and anyone wishing to test them is welcome to. |
