Sure.  But Win98 is quite old (3 years) and *MUCH* more unstable than Win2k.  I
upgraded from Win ME to Win 2K at Nov 2000 and since then I've *NEVER* had an OS
crash - plenty of applications have crashed but Win 2K copes fantastically.
With Win 2K I don't think I will be able to run Rebel.

My original point is that Ed really only needs to spend (or hire someone) three
months to write a GUI.  IMHO the additional sales that he would acheive by
porting to Windows would be more than the additional sales from three months
work improving the engine strength.  SO I think it makes commercial sense.

Regards,

Steve
