Authoring systems for which there is more than one platform?

Are there any authoring systems other than Inform for which there is more than one possible platform? (E.g. Inform can be either z-code or Glulx).

I ask because, in working on this scraper for IFWiki, I’m looking at how to detect the platform of a given IF work, which is information that IFWiki wants, but that IFDB doesn’t have an explicit field for.

I’m not sure if this is quite what you mean, but Tads 3 can target either a web UI or a standard UI, see tads.org/t3doc/doc/sysman/webui.htm

Thanks! Hmm, interesting. It doesn’t look like IFWiki distinguishes between the two TADS UIs in a reference to an IF work, though, so I will probably just keep the platform identical to the authoring system in that case.
