<h2>Port Status</h2>
<p>Here is a table of the most up to date information we have regarding icculus.org/Quake3's working status on different operating systems. There are things to bear in mind when viewing this:
</p>
<ul>
	<li>The status column refers only to the latest information we are given, so it may be out of date.</li>
	<li>"Working" doesn't always imply "usable", see the <em>Notes</em> column.</li>
	<li>Status is one of <em>working</em>, <em>broken</em> or <em>unknown</em>.</li>
</ul>

<p>You can keep an eye on the Subversion repository via the <a href="http://svn.icculus.org/quake3/trunk/">
Web interface</a>.</p>

<h2>Implemented Features</h2>
<ul>
	<li><a href="http://www.openal.org/">OpenAL</a> support for sound. Surround
	sound supported.</li>
	<li><a href="http://libsdl.org" title="Simple DirectMedia Layer">SDL</a> being used
	for input, OpenGL context management, and sound. Though not on Windows yet.</li>
	<li>Colors converted to ANSI escape codes in terminal output.
	(set <span class="shell">ttycon_ansicolor</span> to 1 to enable this.)</li>
	<li>More supported platforms, see the table above.</li>
</ul>

<h2>PunkBuster Support</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.evenbalance.com/">Even Balance</a>'s Punkbuster support can never
be included with any open-source version of Quake 3 due to it being removed from the
source-code before the release, and the binary-only nature of its anti-cheating software.
</p>
<p>While it is possible that someone could write an open-source equivilant of PunkBuster,
it's not very feasable for a number of reasons.</p>
