Wasn’t their updated version a modified version of Microsoft’s original code, which they’d licensed from Microsoft? If that’s true, their PSXSS was more an enhancement than a “replacement”.
- EvanAnderson 4y agoThat would be interesting to know. I’d love to see a copy of OpenNT. Sadly, my experience started with it when it was already Interix. I know Microsoft negotiated source access/licensing with various third-party software “manufacturers” (like w/ Citrix for WinFrame). I’d love to know more about the arrangement with Softway. So much history is slipping away.
- skissane 4y agoApparently "BetaArchive" has a copy: https://www.betaarchive.com/database/view_release.php?uuid=d8ebdbb0-0b07-4e28-b7ba-ac5f932f7f30 https://www.betaarchive.com/database/view_release.php?uuid=d... However (putting aside the legalities of downloading "abandonware"), they won't let you download anything unless you first upload something they don't have. Heck, I probably do have something they don't have in my box of old floppy disks (which I keep on telling myself I will image one of these days), but my curiosity about this topic isn't strong enough to motivate me to do that.
