Well, Csound is supposed to run on more platforms than just about anything.
All I've worked on with Csound is Windows, Unix, and Linux. So I can't say
anything about the Atari ST or the Macintosh or the Amiga... this is the
stuff that John Fitch has been taking care of for everybody for years. I
don't know who he gets to test these other platforms, or even if they are
actually tested.
