Portability notes for SCASS
---------------------------

SCASS was developed on Debian Linux and FreeBSD 4.2 and it should work on
any not too weird Linux distribution, on any not overly ancient 
(Net|Free|Open)-BSD system and on most UNIX systems offering the required
tools.

Requirements for SCASS:
 - core system (frontend, database, backend):
   - PostgreSQL 7.2 or later (was developed on 7.2),
   - PHP4,
   - a webserver which PHP4 runs under (used for development: Apache 1.3.x),
   - Perl 5.005 or later (developed with Perl 5.005 and 5.6),
 - frontend only:
   - webbrowser capable of
     - tables,
     - forms,
     tested with lynx, links, Mozilla 1.0, Netscape 4.7, Internet Explorer 5,
     working CSS support is nice, but not needed (user interface just looks
     uglier without CSS), color helps, but works fine in monochrome,
 - backend only:
   - BIND9 for the DNS backend (currently, only zonefiles for BIND9 are
     generated by the backend, more to come - and BIND9 was used for
     development),
   - DHCP server (ISC DHCP v3 used for development) for the DHCP server
     backend,
 - installation:
   - make, preferrably GNU make,
