Can you recommend a version of emacs that works in Windows 98 or older? in c/emacs@communick.news

The user first posted "Why don't you ask an Archaeologist" and then deleted/edited their comment to the current version. Felt condescending to me.

As for the clarity of the question, certainly I'm happy to offer follow ups, but to me it seems pretty straightforward. If someone's asking for a version specifically for Windows 98 in 2023, it's not because they did not consider a newer OS. It seems be going out of your way to be confused, but then again, I can't speak for everybody.

How are you accessing that website? The link is not working for me (site can't be reached error).

This is for a project I'm working on a Windows 98 machine. No need to be condescending.

The emacs website has versions down to 22, but none of them seem to work correctly on Windows 98. I managed to get emacs 22 running, but it does not display correctly on screen. Only the -nw version runs correctly.

Is there any version that works well on the older OSes?
