  1. If you were wondering if you could print from a #hpux system running a #windows3 application via Wabi via JetDirect being emulated on an Oki c542 printer.

    Yes, yes you can. It all just kind of works without much fuss, except that I had to change the snmp community name for my printer because the old hpux drivers don't seem to like the snmpv2 stuff?

    I'm kind of floored this all works.

  6. @nina_kali_nina Do you see the fonts named 'Roman', 'Modern', or 'Script'?

    You wouldn't believe (actually, you would) how hard these are to google.

    Anyway they're a dumpster fire but they totally work … if you are into non-intersecting polygons. This is when Adobe Type Manager was hella expensive, and TrueType was a liberating dream coming soon, from two enemies joining forces f.f.s.finally.

    BTW, yes this screenshot is from Windows 3.0 Runtime (or something like that … CONTROL.EXE not found haha) but they are the fonts that Windows 3 inherited, I swear

  16. I've pushed myself a bit and tossed a rough tutorial on cross-compiling for #Windows3, #WindowsNT, #Windows95, and #MSDOS with #OpenWatcom up on the web zone: indigoparadox.zone/tutorials/w

    It's late, so I don't trust my proofreading, but I've been asked about this enough where a quick and dirty tutorial has become a practical consideration. Hopefully it's useful!

  21. Finally got this working last night, but I gave it the wrong deploy key before I went to bed... but I fixed it this morning and so now: automatic beans: codeberg.org/indigoparadox/mbe

    More platforms and projects to come, but at least I got the basic process working so that's nice.

  26. When was your last #Terminal session in #Windows3 to transfer a few driver files via xmodem protocol? My successful try is a few minutes ago and now the small and handy #HP #OmniBook #HP600C can speak with the #ZipDrive.

  31. Look, it's a #listicle of 💀 software fails from the Jurassic era of desktop publishing. Because nothing says "innovative" like reminiscing about programs that couldn't hack it in a world of Windows 3.1. But hey, at least we can waste pixels on them now! 🖥️🚮

  35. I also decided to move Analysis in the page dedicated to my old programs. Analysis was a Windows 3.1 program I wrote between 1998-2002 and that could draw mathematical functions. It was mainly written in Visual Basic 3.0, with a DLL written in C that could parse functions: davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.p
