I worked for Unipress for a brief period and learned portability from them. I spent a
lot of time moving EMACS from Suns (both 68x SUN 3’s to SPARC SUN 4), SGI, Intergraph, and
Masscomp, along with some of the minicomputers (Pyramid, Vaxes, Gould SEL). When I
started my own company we ran on Sparcs of various flavors, x86 of various flavors, SGIs,
Stellar, Ardent, Oxi (i860), IBM RS/6000, IBM i860, (I think I actually ported once to the
370 running AIX while I was at PASC, but we never really supported that), MIPS, DEC SPIM
boxes, Alphas, and a Cray XMP and then some wierd stuff (ARPA hypercubes, Masspars,
etc…).
