Rebel versions (UCI and DOS)

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello Ed,

it seems that Mephisto MM4 http://www.top-5000.nl/mephisto.htm
does not execute any moves under Arena-GUI, all other Mephisto´s run
normally with the interfcae.

Old DOS Rebels http://www.top-5000.nl/rebel.htm work well with
D-Fend Reloaded 1.3.5 http://sourceforge.net/projects/dfendreloaded/ -except Rebel Decade 1.0. (no graphical interface
can be created under Windows XP SP3-32 bit).

Rebel XP for DOS requires inserting a CD-ROM of
Rebel Century 4 / Rebel 11 or Gandalf 5, otherwise the application will be closed. Can you give us subsequently a Rebel XP for DOS patch which removes that obstacle?

Who of you made similar experiences with this Rebel "legacy" software?

Best wishes,
Norbert

Hello Norbert !

Here is the solution for Rebel XP (DOS) under uncle XP:

***$$$&&&***
Create a file REGISTER.BIN ( just rename an empty .txt file) in the folder where you've unzipped this RebelXP, and REBEL.EXE will work properly.
***$$$&&&***

My Professor in Wien CC Academy was a genius ! I don't know if he's still alive !


Best to you !

PS: to our mods: if my response (solving 100% the problem) seems a bit unorthodox - please delete this my post ! If not, all is OK !
THANK YOU in both situations ! It's a free software , isn't it ?

I know , Norbert. Glad to know that I was a little bit of help !
Again, I know a lot of useful tricks from my Wien Herr Professor - Dr. Honoris Causa in computer chess genetics. Sometimes I hate all the history. Maybe in the afterlife ( - he's an atheist , but who cares) we will be brothers in arms (arms = DOS chess programs ) ! Who knows ?

Cheers,
SilvianR

Rebel 12 The very last Rebel of 2004.

Well, the guy who wrote that is lying. A little bird told me there will be a new Rebel soon

My guess is the long awaited Android version

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Microsoft Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=3702 is supported by Windows 7, but D-Fend-Reloaded
can be used for XP (and other OSes) too

On Ed´s website "running old DOS Rebels" a link to
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=3702 is missing

Another Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=4580 contains Virtual PC 2007.

To Ed:

Will be Rebel 11 package http://shop.lokasoft.nl/product.php/18/5
Rebel Tiger http://shop.lokasoft.nl/product.php/16/5
and Rebel 12 Windows http://www.lokasoft.nl/rebel12.aspx
available for free too?

Rebel 12 CB edition runs stable after a complete new installation (setup.exe) from Lokasoft CD-ROM now on Arena-GUI!

Like the URL's suggest you need to contact Lokasoft. Personally I have no problems with the REBEL parts of the products.
