In both Rebel cases I use a W extension as explained at rebel. MCP8, this one is strange. I know for sure at one time it would run from a dos prompt in the win 95 comp. But when I couldn't get it to load with win 98 when I went to the other to check that I found that it wouldn't run there unless I shut down win 95 and restarted in dos. Now I do finally have it running in both but only after logging out of windows. Only change of significance on the win 95 comp was adding 64 mb ram to 128 mb. Also I wanted to do a screen capture of RebCent, Reb10 and MCP8 for my webpage http://www.geocities.com/chessfun_1999 where I added a what does that program look like section, but couldn't get the capture to work with either dos or a dos prompt. Thanks.
