Okay, now I've done my homework.
Version 1.8.14 is an (improved) update of Rival Win95 1.5.

It plays some variants, but not Suicide.

The correct answer is: go to

http://www.gambitsoft.com/sharee.htm

& download

Rival - DOS version 1.5f by Moreton 1998 (rival15f.zip)

This Plays happily in Win95/98 AND PLAYS SUICIDE!

Sorry again for bum steers, but my Netscape bookmarks don't exist, & I had to
follow Eelco's lead & then find the right Rival.

It was worth the search, this is a nice suicide player, & that's an interesting
game in its own right.
