Subject: How About A Better DOS Emulator For Rebel?

Go up one level in this thread


I admit that I have no idea how difficult this might be - and that it might
therefore be impractical - but in theory it should be possible to write a DOS
emulator for Windows that intercepts any attempts to do something "naughty" and
returns the correct values.

Having said that, I suspect it would be easier to recompile Rebel as a Windows
program.

Perhaps there should be a Rebel CD which is bootable. When you want to play
rebel, just boot from this CD. But then, of course, while you were playing
Rebel, you wouldn't be able to do anything else.

All in all, a Windows version of Rebel would be the best solution.

One alternative would be to allow the customers to run Rebel direct from the
Rebel website, through IE. This would save all the installation problems, and
resolve all compatibility problems almost permanently!
