2.0.1 Test fails when installed on Win98

[Falbert]

When running the standard test, after downloading and unzipping LWJGL, on my Win98SE system, with Java 1.5.0_16, I get:

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\lwjgl-2.0.1>java -cp .;res;jar\lwjgl.jar;jar\lwjgl_test.jar;jar\lwjgl_util.jar;jar\lwjgl_fmod3.jar;jar\lwjgl_devil.jar;jar\jinput.jar; -Djava.library.path=native\win32 -Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true org.lwjgl.test.WindowCreationTest

The following keys are available:
ESCAPE:         Exit test
ARROW Keys:     Move window when in non-fullscreen mode
L:              List selectable display modes
0-8:            Selection of display modes
F:              Toggle fullscreen
SHIFT-F:        Toggle fullscreen with Display.destroy()/create() cycle

I believe that this worked with 1.1.4, but I haven't been able to find the download to back-rev.

Any suggestions?

1.1.4 is here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=58488&package_id=54362&release_id=570355

Apart from that, I have no clue. Win98 is ancient, maybe don't support it?

LWJGL 2.0 dropped support for win9x (see announcement here: http://lwjgl.org/forum/index.php/topic,2726.0.html)

Wisely so too, given just how incredibly rare working Win98 machines are these days.

@wolf_m: Thanks for the link!  Hopefully, it'll be a big help.

@elias:  Thanks, I'd looked, but ran out of time to find whether support for Win98 was official or not.

@Cas:  You'd be surprised; I do some work on home computers, and have friends in schools in the northeast USA.  Something like half of them are still using Win98; not necessarily on all of their computers, but a significant number of them.

Additional Info:
Downloaded and tried 1.1.4.   Oddly enough, get the same error.

Strange, I wonder what is causing this to have problems.

I was having similar problems with XP, but i was missing the second -D entry, and when i added that it worked.  My error was identicle except it was saying NoClassDef instead of UnsatisfiedLinkError.  Have you checked your openGL installation?
