I run a computer games club at my School. 🆒  
At present our operating system is Windows\*, and both Civ 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 3 run smoothly, especially in multiplayer mode.

Our IT department is upgrading Windows next term, and say that Heroes is fine, but that Civ 2 won’t work. Does anyone have advice on a patch for Civ 2, or some other solution?

\*Yes, I know I should tell you which version of Windows it is. :o (However I run from home, using Windows 95 + 98.)  
I **think** the School currently has Windows NT, and are upgrading to Windows 2000.
