Supported Platforms

Pipo-BBS is known to run on these operating systems regardless of the machine type (with a few hacks):

Why is it called Pipo ?

The name "pipo" is the French for the English "foo" or "bar".

It was suggested as a name for Atlantis-BBS implementation before a theme was found. French programmer put ``Pipo'' constantly when they talk about computer stuff. Take a look at this French site which makes fun of computer related things.

I don't think this word has a real meaning. But the users of the Atlantis-BBS have proposed it and voted for it as the name of the code.
