1.4 Willows Supported Platforms

   The Willows Toolkit will be developed and tested under the Linux operating system. The cross-platform nature of the software allows us to support the software on RISC architectures as well as the traditional X86 architecture. The software has been designed to use the minimal functionality afforded by the operating system, to make it possible to be supported on a wide range of platforms. The graphical user interface, GUI, has been developed using the X11 toolkit, which is available on a wide range of platforms, to further ensure the successful deployment of the Willows Toolkit on a wide range of platforms and architectures.
