Copy and rename from the Rebel DOS the following files to the
rebel12 folder:

rebel.bal - black.*
rebel.bbe - black.*
rebel.bbi - black.*
rebel.bbp - black.*
rebel.bbr - black.*
rebel.bbx - black.*
rebel.eoc - white.*
rebel.bal - white.wal
rebel.wbe - white.*
rebel.wbi - white.*
rebel.wbp - white.*
rebel.wbr - white.*
rebel.wbx - white.*

* means the same.

It's as simple as that :-)

Best wishes
Mihaly
