Hi all, I'm working on a free no add, non-profit app and website for Thai Forest Buddhist teachings, including a meditation timer.

I have built a backwards version for Dos, windows 3.1, windows XP and windows 98. I am trying to make it so it works nicely on each version, though it gets simpler as it goes backwards.

I have been sick, and have a background as running a developer biz. So as I was given some hosting space I am making a PWA website. Along this there is an offline version that is for Windows, Max, Andriod, iOS and Linux.

The timer as been written in C, Kotlin and Javascript. And the website is being made in a web version for the target OS.

It took some time to develop these things, but I feel the world is quick to throw things away. So I am doing my best to develop a version on obsolete systems.

Windows is my background, so just because I could, I have an offline version to target DOS, windows 3.1, windows 98 & windows XP.

There is a new version also, and I hope to have it in the android and iOS stores for free.

Some people in the world like using old things, so I have decided to build for these OS a target version.

To do this I need to test. I have used dos box to test dos, and I have access to an XP to test.

Being a Buddhist monk, I'd like to do this properly licensed without breaking any ToS.

If anyone has a spare Windows 3.1/3.11, 95 or 98 license they no longer need (COA sticker, CD or disks, condition doesn't matter) please let me know, even to borrow for a few months.

I am in Australia. Anyhow please let me know.

If you know of any legal testing versions also please let me know. Sometime there is developer testing licenses with 6 month validation.

With Kindness

They were some of the DOS screen shots, I dont have screenshots really of the versions before XP yet because I have no way to test currently.
