Version 1.1 of Platforms and Operating Systems. This replaces version 1.0
sent about a week ago and archived as operating-systems-10.hqx.

This covers platforms, platform standards, and operating systems of the

Rearranged a little, spelling changes, additions, and removals.

documents with graphics (Word table) are welcomed.
