The offer still stands of course. Here is the text from my pages: A PRE-RELEASE of Rebel for Win95/98/NT will be available from the Rebel10 subscription download area for Rebel10 owners. The date for this pre-release is set for the period June/July 1999. Rebel10 owners who have subscribed to Rebel10 can download this version for free. Ed Schroder
