Also when I used WinZip and created a self extractor, I got the exact same results I got using using IZarc: No rebel12setup.exe file. Instead I got a directory called "Main" and when I opened that up I got a Rebel application file. When I clicked on that it almost ran! Except that when the program was about to start up I got a DOS window saying it couldn't find the file Pieces/Rebel.pcs. But that file most certainly does exist! I got this using both WinZip and IZarc so neither unzipping program can be called the cause. Can anyone help? Please?
