I can't see myself giving up >my favorite program just to upgrade to XP It is easily possible. I have done that on both of my computers. I have my hard disk partitioned using PartitionMagic 6.0, Windows 98 installed on C: and Windows XP on D: The only disadvantage appears if you like to play computer chess tournaments as I do - on one computer, inputting moves manually, PB off etc, as windows 98 is good for Rebel, but it is bad where it comes to stopping currently inactive programs from using CPU. Windows XP is perfect in this regard. Now the problem comes: If one wants to include Rebel in any tournament, he (or she ;-) will be forced to install all other chess programs twice. Or remain in Windows 98 and be ready to deal with its shortcomings. Didzis Cirulis
