Ramesh,

The only NT version that is on the web only supports IBISv1.1. There is a Win95 
version also on the web for IBISv2.1. 

Unfortunately, I don't see any 2000 or NT version for s2ibis2.

I am not sure how difficult it is to download the source code and recompile on
your particular OS.

Maybe other Windoze users can comment on this.

Syed
