Steve,
I, too, had to trick it. I installed under Win95 then copied the
following files from c:\windows\system to
d:\os2\mdos\winos2\system:

vb40016.dll
oc25.dll
comdlg16.ocx
threed16.ocx
tabpro20.vbx
picsccvx.vbx

NB seems to run quite well in OS/2, though it has crashed on me
a number of times and I am not yet convinced it is anywhere near
as stable as Xy4. Also, I still have the same problem that I had
with the demo in that Orbis windows (for indexing, etc.) come up
behind the main window. I have to use Ctl-Esc to pull up the
OS/2 window list and then select the new Orbis window to get it
to pop up in front.

Cheers,
John
