Ah, yes, the thrilling tale of translating a colossal math software into #C++20 modules, brimming with groundbreaking insights like "we did it" and "it worked" 😂. This riveting PDF is the comedic equivalent of watching paint dry, but with more acronyms and self-congratulation. 🎉📄

Did anyone experience TK Solver in the wild? It seemed like such an impressive piece of software back in the day, but the specialized programs I run into are all based on MathCAD, Maple, or Mathematica.

Is it the lack of an M in the name?

My own suspicion was that it's because it was released to be run on a 1980s PC, instead of on a VAX where the engineers were. But I remember really wanting a copy to run when I read the reviews.
