This aligns with my thinking. There may be some variation from simulator
to simulator. Most are fairly conservative in what they do, system calls
will mostly be in the area of intersection between Windows and POSIX.
Some may just run, some more may run with a recompile, more with minor
adjustments. A few may have serious issues.
Most people are interested in one or a few simulators. If the simulator
you are interested in works you are in luck.

Hi,
The Windows XP version should work on Win 98. Windows since 95 has
been 32 bit. This depends on the calls that SimH uses. At most, a
recompile would be needed. However not sure if you can find a Windows
95/98 C compiler anymore.

That would be an exercise for someone with sufficient interest. That
would not be me.
Meanwhile, given the particularly low demand for this, I might not be
interested in merging changes necessary to get that working…

Might it run in a DOS environment if built with DJGPP? That's,
pretty much, a 32 bit environment where code written for plain 32 bit
Unixes is generally happy. It still exists. That runs on Win 98, of
course. And raw DOS.

As far as I know, no version of simh will run on any base 16bit OS.
The furthest back I’ve tried to support is XP. Current binaries will
run there.
Meanwhile, you might want to ask a different question:
Will simh run on Android?
That answer is yes. Several folks have achieved this. A few years
back the normal makefile would work for some version of the Android
cross development environment. I haven’t tried lately.
There is a very old version of simh (3.02) available on the Google
Play store.

Subject: [Simh] Strange question
Iwindows was wondering what is the newest version of SIMH that will
run on Windows 98SE? I am trying an emulator on my phone and Win98 is
the newest version of Windows that will run well.
Thanks
