The PHost set of programs is available as a native application on (at least) the following platforms:

  • PCs (386 or higher) running DOS or something compatible (Windows, OS/2, ...). We have a DJGPP-based version (DOS with extender), and a native Win32 version.
  • PCs (386 or higher) running Linux with ELF binaries (any distribution does).
  • PCs (386 or higher) running FreeBSD 4.x (or 5.x with compatibility libraries).
  • Sun SPARC computers running Solaris 2.7 (or 2.6 or 2.8).

The above are the platforms that we can regularly expect to have access to. From time to time, we may be able to compile PHost on other platforms as they become available, but we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to keep PHost current for those platforms. Check the PHost Home Page for all available distributions. PHost 4.1 is available for these additional platforms:

  • PCs running BeOS.
  • PowerPC computers running Linux.

We will not generally give out the host source.
