[Firebird-devel] Firebird v2 and "Ancient" ports

[Leyne, S. <sl...@at...>]

I have been doing some code cleanup for Firebird 2.0 -- I have removed
the READONLY conditionals as well as the WINDOWS_ONLY (Win16) code.

I have noted in my travels that code still exists for a variety of
platforms and was thinking about removing some of the more "ancient"
ones.  But I thought that I'd check with the group, in case someone
really wanted to keep some of these classics.

The ports which I think are no longer required and should be deleted
are:

	- Apollo 68K, Dn 10K
	- Sun 68k, Sun Sparc, HP 9000/300, MAC AUX, IMP, DELTA, NeXT,
UNIXWARE, DG_X86
	- Sun 386i, XENIX, EPSON
	- VMS
	- Ultrix/VAX
	- Ultrix/MIPS
	- HP 900/800 (precision)
	- DG AViiON
	- HP MPE/XL
	- Silicon Grpahics/IRIS
	- Cray
	- Dec OSF/1

Then, there is the issue of the Netware port code.

I'm not going to do the cleanup for a couple of weeks, to allow for my
vacation as well as time for people to submit their comments.
