Hi Frank,

this old DOS program RexChess 2.3 is listed at the following link,
and can also be downloaded from there: (must be freeware now !?)

http://www.multiweb.cz/max.rubin/download.htm

But of course it´s the original (DOS) program, which has one serious
problem: it doesn´t run on faster computers (since about 200 MHz) -
there´s an ´Runtime Error´ like for older TurboPascal programs
(although not being written in TurboPascal!).

A few years ago I managed to patch RexChess, so it´s still on my harddisk
and running without problems too. ;-)  (but of course rather rarely)

Best regards,
Franz.
