I can't believe it. And IIRC you already had a former Rebel engine working as analysis engine under ChessPartner, can the step to full Winboard/UCI support be that hard that you are not willing (I am sure you are capable) to take this final step? And what about your promise to release a Windows version? This leaves some bitter taste - although your free Rebel 12 is a perl - because Rebel may run under some Windows versions but is not Windows application. DOS is dead - since ages! There are only a few hardliners who even accept special boot to run Rebel in DOS (mode). Ed, I am sure that MANY others would also honor a Windows-/Winboard-/UCI-Rebel - at least engine - much more than another beta-x.eng. Don't you want to see this as final competition? ;-)
