There are a lot of options! I tried the Dos version once but the personality editor isn't functional anymore, I cannot recommend that part of the DOS version! Ed also said to just use a texteditor like Notepad. That works fine for the Windows version too (until it expires of course...). I could not detect speed differences between DOS and Windows. Copying Thorsten a bit, I have put some experiences on Rebel board with Rebel Style Betazoid but I don't have all those nice Star Wars posters on the walls! By all means try if the move ordering parameter has some effect for your personalities. See also Ed's page http://members.home.nl/matador/engine.htm And Thorsten has his Rebel journal online here http://www.thorstenczub.de/rebel12.html http://www.thorstenczub.de/rebelxp.html and further http://www.thorstenczub.de/rebelxp2.html http://www.thorstenczub.de/rebelxp3.html http://www.thorstenczub.de/rebelxp4.html Regards, Eelco
