Yes, although there were two releases of Win95 ("original" and
"OSR2").  XWT will only work on the "original" Win95 if you've
installed some other major Microsoft package (IE or Office); doing
this installs msvcrt.dll, which XWT needs.  That dll shipped with OSR2
and Win98+.

I got it running on the Danger Hiptop emulator.  See www.danger.com
for details.  In general it should be very easy to port to any of the
java-enabled phones, although it might run rather slowly.

I'm pretty sure you can build a solaris binary by simply replacing all
the occurrences of 'linux' with 'solaris' in the Makefiles (both
xwt/Makefile and xwt/gcc/Makefile).

Come to think of it, I should probably start signing Solaris builds.
