That's correct.

>> 2.There is no icon except a plain DOS disk icon supplied for a desktop shortcut.

- Click RIGHT on the icon.
- Chose "properties".
- Chose "Program".
- Chose "Change icon"

and pick an icon you like from the standard build-in Windows icons. It's a
standard Win95/98 procedure that works for every program (shortcut).


>>5.When switching sides by forcing Rebel 10 to make your move, the names don't switch in the name boxes.

I don't see KK's point. I think it's a matter of taste. If you want to swap
"player's names" just click on the "player's names". The same applies for
swapping the "clocks". Just click on the "clocks".


>>  11.The user still can't resign nor offer a draw.

True. But I agree to KK's criticism.
