Hello Ed, thanks again for your latest update to Beta 1.01. I´d like to make a few suggestions for Rebel 12: 1) it seems you didn´t find the problem with your compiler, because the latest rebel.exe still has this huge size of 5MB. I´ve written a small program (RebelFix.exe), which solves this problem and cuts off this unnecessary overhead of about 4MB of 0-bytes from rebel.exe - if you are interested in this file, let me know and tell me your email-address, so I can send this file to you 2) would it be possible for you to change the move sound in Rebel12 from this (under native DOS!) really annoying ASCII-7-code (^G, console signal) to a short and nice beep? (This surely wouldn´t be more than 1 or 2 lines of extra code) 3) if there will be some further _beta_ version in the future (before releasing the final Rebel12), it probably would be a good idea to make the download file a little smaller - i.e. it should only consist of the newer files that have changed since the last version. (For beta 1.01 this would have been a download of about 800k instead of 4,2M - yes, there are still internet users with only standard modem!) Wishing you all the best in your further Rebel development, Franz.
