When N&B first came out, there was problem with the "Bomb Shelter"
which could corrupt some files ; they eventually fixed this via a patch
I think. I have run N&B98 on a pentium 200 machine with Windows98
with no problem at all. First Aid also had a compatibility problem when it
first came out too, but was subsequently also corrected in
First Aid 98 I believe. The problems I described were with Windows 95.
