I have different OS on my computer, why not keep Win 98 and use it with Century and other DOS programs. Use XP for the other programs. The update Century4 is much better then the previous version. The first impression after around 70 games indicates an enormous improvement! Very good in king-attacks and tactics! Even more active play then older Rebels. The "castle-bug" seems to be fixed from the previous version. I really looks forward to the testing! Bertil
