George,

Here's a response that I got on 9/9/99 when I asked Mindscape the same question.

"Our programs are designed to  use Direct X, which requires that the video
and sound drivers must be DirectX compatible - that they have been tested by
Microsoft to function correctly with DirectX . Unfortunately at this time
Windows NT does not support DirectX. You may want to check back with our
website periodically for the latest information on future Windows NT
compatibility."

So as far as I know it doesn't yet run on NT.  I have NT Workstation and I run
Fritz5.32 and Shredder 3.
