Tony, I've installed it in Win98 and here's how it is for me:
Click "Start," then Programs, then follow that menu down to Nota Bene Demo.
Another sub-menu will pop up. From that menu, select Uninstall NB Demo.

Uninstalling through the Windows Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) may not
do the uninstall job as well, but if you take a peek in there when you're
done and find any mention of NotaBene, I wouldn't hesitate to remove that,
too.

I've notice a few recent comments about Win98, and want to add a note that
for some reason Xy3+ runs fine for me on this OS and Xy4DOS had problems
(I'll have to try it again and risk crashing if you want anything specific,
as I finally gave up). Even with Xy3+, I was working on a feature story here
at home last week and was almost done when Win98 exercised its little-known
and less appreciated "instant reboot" feature. Too trusting of Win98's
stability, I had not saved. Suffice it to say that some rewrites are more fun
than others.

In general, I'd advise anyone who wants to upgrade from Win95 to first
download the most recent drivers for everything in your system, then grab all
the Windows Updates available after all that stuff is installed. Some of the
Win95 drivers aren't as friendly to Win98, and the upgrade disk doesn't do
well in all systems because of the huge variety of hardware out there.
