        !            13:
        !            14: Since version 0.2.2-pre Apple's A/UX belongs to the officially supported
        !            15: platforms. It is not restricted in any way.
        !            16:
        !            17: Since version 0.5.0 ngIRCd's source compiles with the native A/UX c
        !            18: compiler. GNU C isn't a must-have anymore.
        !            19:
        !            20: The following software packages are needed:
        !            21:
        !            22:  - GNU sed
        !            23:    Source:
        !            24:    http://www.rezepte-im-web.de/appleux/sed-3.02.tar.gz
        !            25:    http://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/sed-3.02.tar.gz
        !            26:
        !            27:    A/UX comes with /bin/sed which isn't supporting all functions needed
        !            28:    by GNU automake/autoconf.
        !            29:
        !            30:    Warning: When installing GNU sed please make sure that A/UX doesn't
        !            31:    use the old one anymore which means set the $PATH or replace /bin/sed
        !            32:    at all.
        !            33:
        !            34:  - libUTIL.a
        !            35:    Source:
        !            36:    ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/apple/apple_unix/Sys_stuff/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz>
        !            37:    http://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/libraries/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz
        !            38:
        !            39:    This library contains functions that are common on other UNIX
        !            40:    systems but not on A/UX e.g. memmove(), strerror() and strdup().
        !            41:
        !            42:
        !            43: After installation of these packages just do a "./configure" and "make" to
        !            44: compile ngIRCd on A/UX.
        !            45:
        !            46:
        !            47: A few hints in case of errors:
        !            48:
        !            49:  - Either there's an 'install' on your system which is completely broken
        !            50:    (so 'configure' uses its own shell script) or use a fully functionable one.
        !            51:    There's at least one binary "out there" causing problems. The one
        !            52:    of the GNU fileutils works fine:
        !            53:    http://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/fileutils-4.0.tar.gz
        !            54:
        !            55:  - The precompiled binary of the old 'bash' shouldn't be installed within
        !            56:    /bin (better do this in /usr/local/bin) because 'configure' would
        !            57:    choose it as its shell which wouldn't work.
        !            58:
        !            59:  - Because of limitations of /bin/sh on A/UX it can't be used to create
        !            60:    the 'config.status' script. Better rename /bin/sh to /bin/sh.AUX and
        !            61:    replace it by a symbolic link to /bin/ksh (ln -s /bin/ksh /bin/sh as
        !            62:    root).
        !            63:    These procedure shouldn't cause you into problems and is recommended
        !            64:    even if you don't use ngIRCd.
