Speaking of Geoworks, anyone have a copy of the rare

probably would have used it for my main desktop if I could have
coded for it....
I'm also looking for a copy of the devkit for Windows 1.0X.
Being able to code for Windows 1 would kick a**.
ICK! Have you ever run Windows 1 for any productive purpose?
Being able to code for DOS 1.0 is more useful (I have the 1.0
BASIC and PASCAL compilers, and the early Aztec C compilers.)
Really, you can't run most Windows 1.x or 2.x apps on anything but
Windows 1.x or 2.x.
You might as well be developing TopView-friendly applications.
