Operating System: FTS is written in pure java. It is OS-independent by design.
However, it was never fully tested on nothing but Linux. Also, it's source code is built
using customary GNU tools: cvs, make, bash. So if you wish, you can run it on Windows
after adapting the build stuff according to your environment. Alternatively, you can
run FTS on Windows with
Cygwin.
Red Hat 9 note: FTS makes extensive use of threading. The NPTL
threading library issued with Red Hat 9 is a little buggy, and so ORBacus and FTS might not
work properly. To avoid this, upgrade the NPTL support in the glibc (this is a root operation)
by downloading
this source RPM, building it and installing it. Essentially, any glibc-2.3.2
with release not lower than 57 should do the trick.
