I will elaborate a bit. The last 3 years the structure of my company has changed considerable, the cooperation with Christophe, Lex Loep and now with Steen Suurballe of Gandalf comes to mind. Also realize the growing importance of Internet needs more and more attention. All of this extra has put me into a new position, that is that today I function much more as a manager than as a chess programmer. So when there is time left to program I rather prefer to spend this time to improve the strength of Rebel than to work on interface issues. If you look at my latest brainchild, it was the work of just 6-7 weeks in total because I did not had more time. Naturally the DOS issue backfires on me, I knew that from the beginning and you won't hear me complain, it is just a result of my new role and the impossibility to invest 2-3 months full-time to port Rebel to a new inferface. The good news is that Lex Loep is going to do the porting job for me. He is the author of the Chesspartner interface so if he is able to deal with my sources Rebel Century 4 for Windows will be available somewhere in the coming year. I keep my fingers crossed. Ed
