I don't have a clue.

My only point I tried to make is that many thinks that Fritz is so much
better than DOS programs because Fritz is 'a windows program'. And that
is just slightly true as Fritz is no _real_ windows program itself... ;-)
And as everyone (?) already know Rebel works perfectly well with a
windows short cut.

Right now I'm triyng to make up my mind whether to by Hiarcs7 for DOS
or Hiarcs7.32 with the Fritz interface. Anyone have any suggestion for me?
I have a Pentium 166 MMX (stone age indeed...) with 32 MB RAM.
