Rebels problems with Chrilly's autoplayer is really dissatisfying, if not
annoying, to say the least. Too bad, that Chrilly has lost the source code :-(
But why can't you write your own version of the autoplayer? Should be not such a
big deal compared to your 2-3 years debugging search ;-)
I am sure Chrilly is willing to help you as much as he can!

Greetings
Alex
