>>>Sure but you won't like it... I haven't touched it at least ten years, and it may require other files than those in the zip... The reb_dbfs.prg doesn't exist, it's generated by this, but the project will ask for it, so just don't bother with the project :). Do RebFpt and scratch your head. Have coffee(, nitroglycerin and whatever other emergency supplies you may need) at hand, this is not for the faint of heart.

No problem. My normal nick is Hedgehog, so I use my spines to protect myself against dragons.
