Gee, its August already, & I'm not familiar with any Windows Rebel program available from your page. What am I missing here:) - Fact is, I'm hoping it will take you guys a lot longer to come out with a fully developed and refined Windows program, wheather I have to pay for it or not. Reason is that I have Fritz5, Junior5, Hiarcs7, Genius6, CM6000, CSTall II, Chessica, and other's that are in the draw. I don't need anymore, but I'm sure that because of my 'addiction', I'll wind up upgrading most of them, including Rebel. The longer it takes these companies to make this stuff I don't need, the better for trying to control my addiction. BTW, Rebel10 is so good, that it has the honor of being the only Dos program still on my disk...
