There is a problem with freetype (a library used by GNUbg) on Win95. You 
should get yourself the newest install archive from 
http://home.online.no/~oeysteij/ first, or if yours is sufficiently new, 
leave your install.
Then go to http://users.skynet.be/motiv4u/GNUBgW.htm and download "0.13 
devel Build 030330 (without Freetype Changelog 1.1027)" 
(http://users.skynet.be/motiv4u/gnubg-030330Zip.exe) and unpack it into the 
folder where you installed GNUbg overwriting the old executable. On this 
page there are hints on how to do this, too.
In case this executable requires a different version of any library, you 
find the files on http://users.skynet.be/motiv4u/dlls_recent_builds.htm .
