The result is Windows swapping. You can limit Rebel's hash table size with the "W" option. For more info see the README file or have a look at the REBEL FAQ at: http://www.rebel.nl/faq.htm >The RAM that we have(64MB), should be doing the hashing, not the hard drive.

For the moment the work around is: . delete REBEL.CFG (delete the configuration file) probably no need to do it. . start Rebel10 . SHIFT-F4 (activate the EOC window) .
