What is a platform?
A platform is a specific combination of operating system and Central Processing Unit (CPU). Many commercial
operating systems run on both Intel and RISC CPUs. VSI-FAX does not always support all of these combinations. In
order to avoid confusion, this documentation routinely specifies entire supported platforms (i.e., operating system and
CPU) rather than just a supported operating system.
