FLAMES is available on Windows, Sun, and Linux. As a result, there is a good chance that FLAMES will run on the computers you already have. Perhaps more importantly, the source code to the custom FLAMES-based applications that you develop on one type of computer is portable to another, usually without modification.
The sections below list the system requirements for each computer type.
