Rebel-Tiger is not an upgrade to Rebel Century just like Junior 6 is not an upgrade to Fritz 5.32. You were promised a "Preview version" of the new Rebel/windows product if you purchased Rebel 10. The preview version was not to be a full function version of the new Rebel for windows. My understanding is that is still forthcoming in the future. Now Ed has said that Rebel Century buyers will get an upgrade price for the full Rebel for windows version. So far he has kept his word. I don't know what the value of a preview version of Rebel for windows will be since I'm not interested in any crippled programs. Probably will not have database & other stuff like that. By the way the "Preview version" was promised last June. All of this is delayed because of Rebel Century as I understand it. Now if I'm wrong, maybe Ed or somebody can straighten me out! Jim Walker
