You haven't looked deep enough. The page is there but the "link" is not
active yet. It's not so difficult to figure it out.............. When
the page is ready I will announce it also here.

At program start Rebel tries to figure out your machine. After that
based on what is detected the algorithm honors this with an ELO rating
for your Pc.

It's wellknown that Rebel performs the best on the AMD processor due to
the big Level-One-Cache. I think the code gets confused because of that.


>PPS. Rebel9 runs fine under NT5 (beta) - as You might know?!

Good news, Rebel9 runs also fine under Win98 (beta3)
