More to the point, whatever "MorphOS" is, it isn't AmigaOS. It was pretty
clearly stated in the original thread that AmigaOS had no support for
fork(), without which there was no chance of running Postgres. It's not
unreasonable of us to take the position that AmigaOS isn't a supported
platform, because *it is not*, and never has been.

(And, for the record, I didn't edit that wikipedia entry. I don't even
have a wikipedia account.)
