Correct. In order to run the game on your BBS, you need to run REBEL /I,
which will ask for the bbsname and name of the sysop. See below.

Also correct. If you don't download it from Titanic, like you and I did,
the key included may be an expiring test key, as was the case with the
first copy I downloaded from the web.

This answers my question... which information is the sysop name ("FREE
COPY") and which is the BBS name ("BBSFILES.COM"). I should have guessed
that. Once I enter these values into the REBEL /I install process (instead
of my name and BBS name) the error goes away and the game works.
Thanks for the initial tip -- to download the file from Titanic.
