SolveSpace just became "officially" available for the Web (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47586614), it is also officially supported on Windows (Vista-11), Linux and macOS. However with a little effort it also compiles for and runs on Windows 2000. Here it is: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1036#issueco... So it runs on all the majour platforms from the last 26 years (excluding MacOS 9). |
Im still bummed the web won the UI wars.

If you have Windows 11 it comes with this new (open source) `edit` written in Rust - open a command prompt and type `edit`.
This is somewhat amusing, considering all the bloat that it comes with otherwise. Even `notepad` has become rather... feature full... it has tabs, spell checking and AI...
I expect the build for Windows 2000 may work on NT 4.0, because it has OpenGL, but Windows 3.11 with Win32s will never work - because it does not have OpenGL(I think...).
And Unicode will also be a problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_in_Microsoft_Windows
Win32s for Windows 3.1x: 1993
Windows NT 3.1: 1993
Windows NT 3.5: 1994
Windows NT 3.51: 1995 (may)
Windows 95: 1995 (july)
