The reason why you have never heard the lines  "is poor, obsolete ... etc", is
that because your program is okay as it is now, but in my opinion and many
other, it is not up to scratch for the Rebel program. Compared to what we can
get in the DOS version right now, if most of these features were incorporated
into your program it would be totally different.

I have played your program, and even though I did not like it compared to what I
already had, does not mean that it is crap. To me it is just not good enough for
a Rebel windows version.

Like putting a High performance engine in an old crappy Ford. You might get the
performance, but if you have not got the other features then to me you have a
crap car with a good engine.

Like I say, you program is not crap, but it is not good enough for the Rebel
windows version, unless there are major changes.
