Hi Bertil,

I fully agreed, but here I am not an expert, have only played for years much
games on 486/66 Notebooks.

I like the newer Kallisto II program.
Very excellent DOS grafic (OK, Rebel is clear better, also in grafic) but I like
Kallisto very much.

Have a boot disk for DOS 6.22 and a 2GB DOS Partition for Rebel, MChess8,
Kallisto II and different other programs.

Pssst, don`t tell this to other people :-)
... say Winboarder Frank ...

Best
Frank
