I managed to fix the #SQLite issue.

So far the #curl problem eludes me.
Curl checks if the connection is established using select().

On #Win10 this eventually returns 1, on #win98 it always returns 0.

I checked with a self made endpoint and the connection is established. Only cf_tcp_connect()->SOCKET_WRITABLE()->Curl_socket_check()->Curl_poll()->our_select()->select() never sees it

In other news: if I fake the return value of SOCKET_WRITABLE(), then CryptAcquireContext() fails on win98.

WHY is it easier to get a TLSv1.2 connection on plain #MSDOS than on #win98???

I managed to get CryptAcquireContext() working.

Now #Curl fails further down the connection attempt.
I think I'll give up (for today?). #Curl and #Win98 seem to live in totally different universes...

@dec_hl It's really hard to keep support for the legacy versions of a still maintained OS in major projects. Often you're better off with a re-port from scratch, rather than trying to beat the port expecting a current version into submission.

@chainq well, I need a win98 compatible HTTPS library then
