B. Target Platform, Operating System, and Processors

The target platform names, abbreviations, and numbers for supported platforms as of Version 16.20 are listed in Table B–1; the target operating systems are listed in Table B–2, and the target processors in Table B–3.

The lists of platforms, operating systems, and processors change frequently without notice from release to release. XIDAK regularly adds support for new platforms and drops support for old platforms, depending on customer demand. The name and abbreviation STRINGs associated with each processor, operating system, and platform are subject to change as manufacturers change the names of their products.

The programmer must use the identifiers rather than the associated values, since XIDAK reserves the right to change the values. If necessary, the values may be examined using MAINDEBUG.
