I´ve been playing around with these strange files, and found out, that only 2 of them are needed - and they can be 0-byte-files: WHITE.EOC BLACK.BAL Just create those 2 files (with 0 bytes!) in the Rebel folder, and everthing is ok - it runs without any problems as a WinBoard engine e.g. in Arena! (Btw, I´ve also tried to manually send the command ´setvar eocuse 0´ to the Rebel engine (within Arena), since this problem has probably to do with the EOC database - but this command didn´t work.) Best regards, Franz.
