I did not mean that the EPD file that comes from commercial CD-ROM. I mean I myself saved my game's one position in EPD file on the hard disk through Rebel9 program and that's all. Now, when I clicked Analyze Bookup EPD-file and then I clicked the same EPD file on the hard disk. My computer then crashed. Now, do you understand that? So please tell me what is wrong with it and tell me how to solve it. I am not sure what Analyze Bookup EPD-file does exactly. I assume Rebel loads any EPD file into Rebel Screen and it starts analyzing that EPD file the same way Rebel analyzes any Rebel-format game. Am I wrong? Anyway, I will try to copy any EPD file from BONUS CD-ROM to hard disk and I hope it will work fine. If it is still a problem, I would let you know.
