No I recommend Free operating systems, ala the GNU project.

We currently only test GNU Chess on GNU/Linux (Intel), GNU/Linux
(PowerPC), Solaris (Sparc - if we can find one) and Windows 98
under Cygwin.

Various people have submitted builds of 5.02/5.03 ported to
compile under various different compilers for Windows (Dann and
the Intel compiler, a couple of MSVC ports), but I'm loathed to
adopt these changes into the code if;

1) The contributor doesn't commit to maintaining them, at least
for a build or two.
2) It complicates support on platforms that use the GNU build
procedures.

The changes for any specific Windows compiler have been small,
and most relate to declaring Integer types correctly, the kind
of changes it should be easy to make with "search and replace"
in whatever editor you use.
