In any case, note that the "crappy" is put is quotes, which denotes irony, so the meaning should be reversed. On the other hand, everything Mr. Evans says should be reversed, because that's the way he writes. Bottom line, I think his post was warm praise of Rebel (or DOS, or whatever), unless I lost count of inversions. As I said once here, he is too deep for me. Let's be polite. It's simpler. Amir
