[Nova-Net] Win95 version and problem

[Michael R. Owen]

Hi, Bruce -

The short answer is this: Nova for Windows won't work under Windows 95.  
This has been the case since about 2001, I think... maybe earlier.  
You're either going to have to give Mr. Gates some more money or use an 
older version of Nova.  Sorry 'bout that.
