As you know, D2 won't install in anything but Windows 95.

There is news of patches and other things... but I can't find anywhere with
active links.  They all are DEAD.  Including the Interplay website.

Anyone know how to do this, and where the patches might actually be?

Also, can I ever install the Windows version or must one run the DOS version
to run in Windows 2000/XP?
