Just so you’re aware, Simon Bell is no longer working on or directly supporting NCX.

I took over the Newton Research site from him for historical preservation reasons a few years ago.

However, since I’m the current caretaker of the site, I did manage to locate a couple more versions of NCX for you to try.

https://newtonresearch.org/connection/NCX-10.dmg
https://newtonresearch.org/connection/NCX-13.dmg

Maybe one of these will do the trick.

PS: I did see your email from the Newton Research site as well.
