#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎
Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂

TIL: MSVC 4.0 Build 5158 doesn't support Tatham's Coroutine, by saying "case expression not constant", which don't happen in earlier VC (VC2) or later VC (VC4 RTM)

lol. in google gemini's world, vnc has been ported to win16 (in fact isn't):
Real-World Examples: It Already Exists
You don't even have to write one from scratch if you just want to use one. Retro-computing enthusiasts have created working 16-bit VNC clients:
VNCHooks / Win16 VNC Viewer: There are early 16-bit ports of the original AT&T VNC viewer source code floating around old software archives (like Aminet or old SourceForge repositories) explicitly compiled for Windows 3.x.
RealVNC 3.3.3 r2 (Win16): Back in the late 1990s, the developers of VNC officially maintained a 16-bit Windows version alongside the 32-bit Windows 95/NT version.
trying to vibe with gemini to port dosvnc-0.4 to win32(s). current status: auth success but client either silent crashes or quits when processing copyrect. repo: https://github.com/roytam1/vncsclnt
TIL: NT 3.50 doesn't like WNDCLASSEX and RegisterClassEx, using them for window creation will just fail. now my VNC333r9 server works in NT 3.50. #retrocomputing #retroprogramming #VNC
