If the Rebel team can give all the features already available in DOS Rebel 10,
and if they fix up the board in CP, and a few other little things, then there is
no problem. But for what I see in CP at the moment, there would have to be some
big changes. The things that sticks in my mind right now, when looking at CP, I
would feel that I was actaully getting less than I have in Rebel 10 DOS right
now.

I hope that they add and change a few things and we do not get less that what we
already have.

Well that is my only fear.
