Depending on how much work you want to put into this, there is
a pretty good 32-bit DOS emulator called "DOS-Box" you might look at:
https://www.dosbox.com/ I have never tried to run NA under this
scheme, but do still run some old favorite DOS-based games that way.
Good point on win-98. NA should run fine on any windows computer
of that vintage. 73/ted

Hi Ted,I ran it in a DOS-prompt window using Win 98 a few times.
Depending on what was running in the background, it could make for
choppy CW.I've never tried it in any OS newer than that cuz I
assumed it wouldn't even run.These days, I keep a DOS 6.22 machine
in the shack just for running NA.
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeya, Joe

Joe,...
As a DOS Based application, there was no 'installer' in
the sense we now use them for windows computers. The NA.EXE
file in the distribution is a standalone executable,
which needs to be run in a DOS environment. Most modern
windows computer (especially 64 bit systems) probably
won't know what to do with this program, even if you
try to run it from a Windows 'cmd' prompt.
I do still run my NA files successfully in the
Windows XP DOS environment, but it will likely
not run in later Windows versions,...maybe Vista.
Good luck with your research and 73, Ted W8KVK Athens OH

It looks like their website is gone.

I probably have a copy of the self-extracting .exe file on my big confuser.
