All minor, but some little cleanup things.
| The current systems we've tested or for which we have confirmed reports can be found [in the Maiko github repository](https://github.com/Interlisp/maiko/tree/master/bin), including: | ||
| * OS: FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, Windows (using WSL or CygWin) | ||
| * CPU: arm7l, arm64, PowerPC, SPARC, i386, x86_64 | ||
| 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. Instructions for building Medley and Maiko can be be found on github in the [*readme* for Maiko](https://github.com/interlisp/maiko) and the [*readme* for Medley](https://github.com/interlisp/medley). |

Do you want to hyperlink github.com to https://github.com/interlisp?

Delete the period after the link (../windows/running-on-win-wsl). That period and the period at the end of the text block, [Separate instructions are available for WSL here.] creates a sentence ending with 2 periods.

Change this to 2. The <div /> block above this breaks the list and the markdown processors starts up at three. You can either change the 4 to 3 or leave it. It will be processed correctly.

Change to 2. The <div /> prior to this messes up markdown's list numbering.

You only need to build Maimonides but some Linux shell commands Are handy
| ## **Use Medley** | ||
| Once Medley is up and running, see [here](../../using-medley/_index) for tips on how to navigate and use the Medley environment. | ||
| By default, Medley will use (creating, if necessary) a directory called *$HOME/il*. This will be used by the Medley system as its *LOGINDIR* as follows: |
