[NA-User] Install again

[Ted - W8KVK]

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
