This is a MUCH better POST than the dumb question I asked about getting it to run under Windows-11:
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/sudz-exe-building-making-work-t45945.html
And I did eventually get those programs running on Windows 11 - after installing gcc compiler, missing run time DLL, etc.
Then looking back at: https://github.com/1to9only/ast-sudoku.2012-08-01?tab=readme-ov-file
It led me back to the gsf = Glenn S. Fowler binaries, which 1to9only directed to this place:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwwKLhARRO-BZmFjU1kzaVVwdzQ?resourcekey=0-tMwHI64ONimVlGDsVFvkdQ
Then the "scales fell from my eyes" and I realized I had not tried the LINUX binaries!
So I down loaded:
- sudoku-linux.i386-64
- sudz-linux.i386
- sudz-linux.pentium4
I renamed sudoku-linux.i381-64 to sudoku. Then I did a:
>chmod +x * where ">" is my command prompt and * is the wildcard for each of the downloaded files
Then I ran them like this:
>./sudoku --help
Got a lot of stuff ending in:
- Code: Select all

Ran both of the sudz programs in similar fashion and they both ended with:
- Code: Select all

JUST thought somebody might want to know! Even if it is only me!
