Subject: Re: Will Someone Please Explain Why So Many People Hate Dos Chess Programs?

Go up one level in this thread


    It is very annoying to have to switch between windows and dos to use a dos
program.  Of course you can try to run in a dos window under windows.  However
my experience with Rebel 8 indicates this can be difficult to get working
reliably.  At first if I tried to run Rebel 8 in a dos window it would crash
unpredictably if I used the mouse.  Eventually I got it to work (apparently) by
using a magic incantation some guru posted.  However I have lost interest in the
program for other reasons.
