There are many bad things to be said about windows (as opposed to DOS or linux) but one thing i REALLY like about it is that it is easy to use and under optimal circumstances it gives the user more options on the fly. Since Rebel is going "Windows" it would be nice to see it support all the conveniences of the windows inviornment, thus enabling it to run as a fully functional WB/UCI engine under all the CB (or atleast the latest CB) GUI's. Don't get me wrong i have always followed Rebel with great interest and will buy the windows version as soon as it hits the stores, no matter how good/bad the windows implementation turns out. The only reason that i would like to see Rebel (and as many other engines as possible) support WB/UCI is that it gives the user choices that CB,CP etc does not, and it is up to me where i want to have "my" engine run.
