nice one :=) but from the commercial programmer's view who wants to earn money with it I am sometimes surprised that features that are actually _there_ are not made clear a little better to the public . i.e. I noticed that quite a few people who talk about century as being a windows prog or not don't really care about it at all ( multi-tasking and stuff like that ) ; they simply want to be able to start the prog at full strength under windows95/98 , use their mouse , no rebooting with boot-disks etc. , without having to use sophisticated tricks and rebel supports all this although it is not easy to find it in the manual . You simply have to create your own shortcut ; explained in the Online Manual on the CD ; Appendix B ( and this is the mistake as : who reads appendixes ?? ) , B . "Rebel Calling Parameters" For example on a PC with 128 MB RAM simply create a shortcut : C:\Century\Rebel.exe S W9 and you have your rebel with an impressive 100 MB Hash , you can use your mouse as usual and do all the things you are used to do with it , open the nice menus etc . etc . In comparison ; on a P233 with 32MB RAM with Fritz 6 you will have 4 MB for Hash where rebel will work without problems with 13MB . I am quite sure that a lot of people who ask for rebel being a "real" windows prog are just asking for something that is already there ... pete
