- digital unix on alpha with old mc version(i'm not sore, but ca 4.1 -
  never doesn't work as good as this one :) and bash 2.05
- tru64 on alpha with mc-4.5.xx(xx is afair 33 :/ )
- pld with bash-2.05 and newest release mc (4.5.55) both on i386 and
  i686

:) So i don't write on which system i tested it.
