You are correct. What I'd suggest, is to go to:
http://www.software.hp.com/Y2K-upgrades/upgrade_request.html
and get Yourself 10.20 for the cost of shiping. Grab it while it lasts. Then
find someone with a Linux box and beg/steal/borrow it. Around here You can
get a Linuxable 486 for a U$80, Pentium (low) for U$180-200. So You may even
buy one... I know a code/compile/debug cycle can use a fast machine, but
with a bit of discipline one can make do with a slow, too...
