W I N D OW S !!!! >Fernando Like you, I like true windows programs better, but I think Rebel 10 is getting a bum rap. It is working great under windows 98. Its easy to load, and its very fast running under windows 98. Only a few percentage points slower then running under dos. If you have 128MB ram with your computer you can open a dos box in Windows 98, type cd\rebel10 then type rebel, then you can use 120 hash table no problem. I'm not sure why other people are having problems with rebel 10 under windows or dos. I have found none. The easy way to run rebel 10 under dos is to hit the f8 key after the beep when you start the computer. Then choose safe mode command prompt only. Load your mouse driver by hand.(ex. CD\msinput then type CD mouse then type LH mouse.) Then start rebel 10. (ex. CD\rebel10 then type rebel) easy. I have found no problems in dos, and its not to hard to setup.
