@LordCaramac The oldest liveCD I could find was Debian5 from 2009. there are 3 binaries in the tgz. all from 1998!. one is windows the other two are linux. I didn't try compiling. the binary src/sapphire maybe works? I don't know what I am looking at.

@LordCaramac
You might want to look into running the software on an old linux version in a VM.

Yes an old Linux is unsupported and probably full of security holes. Don't let the vm talk to the Internet and you should be fine.

Most of the USA. large parts of Canada. Even the poor. It is pathetically sad.

More than once security has lost out to so a company can make a few extra dollars.
