Rebel 8.0 is not present on my list because I am missing the REBEL.EXE file.
Can someone drop me a PM who (still) has it?
Thanks.

Re: In search for REBEL 8.0
I still have the original diskette, even.
What I don't have is a computer with a diskdrive that can read it (that's assuming it'll still work after all these years).
It's not impossible that I have it on a backup CD (assuming that works), but I'd have to locate that somewhere...

Re: In search for REBEL 8.0
I think I still have it, two disks from Schröder B.V. Software Development, Serial number 81.074, program disk together with a data disk. Stored away safely for travel in their own green box. I also have a 'Aanvullende Handleiding Rebel 8.0' to be read with the Handleiding for Rebel 7.0.
I'm not really going to be doing much with it, if Ed wants them I could send it or if Ed just wants the files I could try to read them out. But I don't have a Microsoft Windows 98 S.E. computer in working condition anymore, that broke down it would need repair first, only have a Windows XP still with floppy drive.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I only need the executable since the old compiler doesn't work any longer on X64 machines.Eelco de Groot wrote:I think I still have it, two disks from Schröder B.V.

Re: In search for REBEL 8.0
There was a copy protection in place, so that the REBEL.EXE is not the complete file, it's only 28.6 kilobyte and Rebel usually was a bit (much) larger than that. So I'm afraid my copy was of no use. "Nothing to be done about it" Ed said, unless he manages to get the old compiler to work again. So I gather Ed does still have the sourcecode for Rebel 8.

Re: In search for REBEL 8.0
Rebel 8 was my favorite version of Rebel Saga! . What Compiler you use Ed ? If is an ms-Dos version, is posible use in DOS-Box , I use DJGPP in and Turbo c++ without problem in DOS-BOX .
