overlaps with other changes already merged. see comments Interlisp/medley#2041


Packaged releases of Medley are available for Linux (most recent distros), macOS and Windows 10/11. Both x86_64 and ARM64 systems are supported (as well as ARM7 - e.g., Raspberry Pi - for Linux). Instructions for installing and running Medley on these platforms are linked below.

Medley is capable of running on a variety of other OSes including FreeBSD and Solaris, as well as on other CPU architectures including i386, SPARC, PowerPC, and RISC-V. To install and run Medley on these platforms, you will need to build Medley (and its underlying virtual machine, *Maiko*) from the sources available in the Interlisp repos on [github.com](https://github.com/interlisp/). Instructions for building Medley and Maiko can be found on GitHub in the [*README* for Maiko](https://github.com/interlisp/maiko) and the [*README* for Medley](https://github.com/interlisp/medley).

you don't have to build medley, just maiko, to port to another system. (Although some features require a posix compatible shell).

You can point at the README more directly by using https://gitnub.com/interlisp/maiko#readme with the # fragment identifier.

I updated the text to make it clear that you don't need to build Maiko in order to build Medley.

Clarified that you don't need to build Maiko if you're only building Medley.  (You will need a Maiko instance to run Medley, of course.)
