Name Pentium Pro Support.
Changed an expression "one year ago", which is in fact only valid for a short period of time. Updated the section about ports. Make this more general, "hundreds of ports" and give a concrete number of ports (over 710) with a timestamp "at end of November 96". I reformatted the "ports" paragraph using fmt, because I think it looks nicer now in sgml source. So the diff shows more changed lines than was actually changed. If this isn't suitable for you, then I'll do my best in the future, to avoid this. My intention was, to make the source look nicer as well.
