Orbis crashes

[Tom Driver <tfd3>]

SOS.  My Orbis will not stay in orbit.  In fact, it won't even
achieve orbit.  It's been out whack ever since I had a disk disaster
a while back.  I'm now attempting to start from scratch, but can't.

In desparation, I removed all files in the \NB4\Orbis directory & its
sub-directories that seemed to pertained to the old textbases.  Then
I reinstalled Orbis from the distribution disk.  Here's what's now
happening:

The Build Textbase routine works OK until I attempt to select files
for indexing from the Tree that Orbis generates for me.  As soon as I
highlight a directory and attempt to choose it by pressing <Enter>,
Nota Bene crashes.  This happens whether I am running NB in a DOS
window under WIN95 or have started the computer in MS-DOS mode.
If I'm in the DOS window, I get a message saying the program has
performed an illegal operation.  If I am in MS-DOS mode, the screen
fills with garbage and the computer hangs completely.

Suggestions, anyone?
