if you speak english.
16.2.4 WINDOWS 95/98 Memory problems (64 MB)
On some PCs with 64 MB of memory while running from the DOS-prompt REBEL
may report "Insufficient memory". Reason unknown. All we know is that it
is HIMEM.SYS related. Solution: Use the shortcuts provided in the Windows
REBEL CENTURY group.
16.2.5 MS-DOS Memory problems (64 MB)

16.2.7 Windows 95/98 (F8 trick)
- Start / Restart your computer.
- Press F8 as soon as "Starting Windows 95/98" appears.
- Select -MSDOS SAFE- mode from the menu.
- Load your mouse driver (MOUSE.COM, LH MOUSE etc.)
- Start the program with REBEL.EXE from the CENTURY directory.
You have started REBEL CENTURY with the strongest settings. REBEL averages
5% faster because of the lack of Windows. This also allows REBEL to
play with the biggest hash table possible. We believe it makes REBEL
5-10 ELO points stronger. In general we do not recommend this option
because of the lack of user comfort, but finally it's up to you to
decide on that.
