Hi Ed, as a consumer too i most say your program is great, is my favourite program when i want play with humans, but the time for buy Dos programs definitively ended for me. i most stop buy Rebel software until you put it in a Good windows GUI. Resistance is futile, early or late you most abbandon the good old DOS. Now let me dream: maybe you can do like Crhistopher Teron, and make and engine for run under Chessbase GUI, that will be wonderfull, but always exist a BUT.......
