Accelr8 does not support that platform yet, but porting just the Lite tool was small enough in scope that we decided to give it a try. We have now made available a version which runs on Alpha Red Hat Linux version 5.2. The Alpha version can be found by following the same link as for the Intel Linux version: http://www.accelr8.com/download.htm Please also be advised that the original Intel version did not work correctly on some newer Linux distributions due to a change in C libraries. We have now updated the Intel version with a glibc2 executable which works with Red Hat version 5.2 and hopefully some of the other glibc2-based distributions. Comments and questions regarding the software should be sent to the e-mail address listed below, though we cannot guarantee a response due to the unsupported nature of this product. We encourage the owners of Linux-related and VMS-related web sites to link to our download page or to mirror the files on local pages. -- Jim Reiss (jim@accelr8.com) Accelr8 Technology, Denver, Colorado, USA
