``special'' features of any particular Unix, it should compile (and
work) on all common Unix flavors.
-Various Wget versions have been compiled and tested under many kinds of
-Unix systems, including Solaris, GNU/Linux, SunOS, OSF (aka Digital Unix
-or Tru64), Ultrix, *BSD, IRIX, AIX, and others; refer to the file
-@file{MACHINES} in the distribution directory for a comprehensive list.
-If you compile it on an architecture not listed there, please let me
-know so I can update it.
-
-Wget should also compile on the other Unix systems, not listed in
-@file{MACHINES}. If it doesn't, please let me know.

-Thanks to kind contributors, this version of Wget compiles and works on
-Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms. It has been compiled
-successfully using MS Visual C++ 6.0, Watcom, and Borland C compilers,
-with Winsock as networking software. Naturally, it is crippled of some
-features available on Unix, but it should work as a substitute for
-people stuck with Windows. Note that the Windows port is
-@strong{neither tested nor maintained} by me---all questions and
-problems in Windows usage should be reported to Wget mailing list at

to redirect the output of Wget after having started it.
@example
-$ wget http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/gnus.tar.gz &
-$ kill -HUP %% # Redirect the output to wget-log
+$ wget http://www.gnus.org/dist/gnus.tar.gz &
+...
+$ kill -HUP %%
+SIGHUP received, redirecting output to `wget-log'.
@end example
Other than that, Wget will not try to interfere with signals in any way.
