You're completely right as far as Rebel is concerned. I ought to have known
better, I just never really use Win95/98 and only get to the DOS prompt so I
forgot about the W, W1-W4 etc. options for Rebel. Stupid of me to claim
otherwise ;-)

But I'm still pretty sure that Hiarcs and CG5DOS cannot utilize large hash
tables under Windows as the /x switch for Genius and the respective -x option
for Hiarcs don't work with DOS extenders (... such as the one present in a
Windows DOS box).
