That's right I wonder myself.

>2. Teacher window doesn't work

It works. 2 remarks:

#1. Make sure you have enough space on your screen. There is an example
page how to use "drag and drop" the screen windows, see:

http://www.rebel.nl/r10-exp.htm (hint-6)

#2. Set INFO not to SUPER (menu CONFIG) as INFO=SUPER will use the teacher
window to display the main-variation in a nice formatted way and can also
handle main-variations up to 24 moves.

3. Saving a personality as another file doesn't work(parameters are lost).

I can not imagine this, which information is lost?

>4. Searching multiple ECO codes doesn't work and damages the database.

I tried 2 cases searching B00-B99 and B77-B78 on Rebel Century's standard
database (510,000) using the "search-mask" and had no single problem.

Note that a "search" can never damage a database because no writing is involved
(only reading). It's more likely you had a crash (not necessarily with Rebel)
and damage was done to so-called "open files". It's our fate since we are using
Windows.

In most cases you can repair a damaged database using the DBUTIL 2.5 function
"19.. Clean a database". DBUTIL 2.5 is in a sub-directory of Rebel Century.
