For anybody who is considering downloading the now free version now made available by Michael Owen, (See quoted email below), be aware that if you are going to be running this program on Windows 7 or 10, you will have to use Windows Compatibility settings to make the program think it running in a Windows XP environment. After that, it will run pretty much as it did on XP machines. Windows 10's Compatibility wizard will try and set it up as Windows 7 but you should manually set the program to execute under Windows XP Service Pack 2 mode to make it go.

The "latest" copy of Nova for Windows is at http://www.nlsa.com/uploads/nfw2.2c/Full/setup.exe

You should also download and install this patch for compatibility with later (post-XP) versions of Windows... http://www.nlsa.com/uploads/nfw2.2c/Patch/Patch.exe

Nova has not changed in several years. I can no longer compile it or make any changes.

Nova is now freeware. The free license code is NLD-8554457 You are welcome to download and run it to your heart's content.

No support, no bug fixes.
