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.
@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
Das Hot-Dog-Stand-Design von Windows 3.1 gilt als optische Sünde der IT-Geschichte. Über 30 Jahre lang vermuteten Nutzer dahinter einen internen Scherz der Entwickler. Nun lüftet die Designerin das Geheimnis um den rot-gelben Kult-Look.

It's about to be #patchtuesday but this one is bittersweet. This month will be my last patching my own personal #windows installations. With the upcoming end to #windows10 support, I'm migrating to #linux .
This month marks the end of my continuous personal Windows use dating back to #windows3 in 1990, 35 years ago. I went to work at #microsoft just as #windowsforworkgroups 3.11 went into beta in 1993. Through a very random set of circumstances, I gave the first press demo of #windows95, to the tech reporter for the #houstonchronicle . Years later, I managed a wonderful team for #windows7 security assurance, and I couldn't be prouder of what we accomplished.
My relationship with Windows runs deep, to say the least. But the time has come for that relationship to end. I will migrate my main computer in about a week.

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: https://indigoparadox.zone/tutorials/watcom.html
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!
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: https://codeberg.org/indigoparadox/mbean/releases
More platforms and projects to come, but at least I got the basic process working so that's nice.
