1-3) I'm not sure what you mean. Please provide a description of what you do, what you expect to happen, and what actually happens. For example, by attaching a match and point out where things go wrong.

4) Good point. I'll fix this.

1) Backup does not revert the cube: it stays at the level it was posted to at last Take mark, even when Take is reverted/unplayed.

2) When you back up the original branch is not recalled or accessible. You may want to examine gnubg's play around this point as well: the engine "hides" its "knowledge" of PRNGs (including random.org) there quite well...

3) There are at least three distinct points where backup/undo/leftgreenarrow does not work:

a) during autoplay it is exceedingly difficult to get the software to ack the arrow until the autoplay finishes.

b) goforward/replay is sometimes needed at a halt point to get backup to work.

c) At most stopping points backup does work, including some to most end of game/wins (X the panel and back up). At some it does not. Revert to previous game and assume play point usually does when backup does not. This should be consistent: all or none at specific stopping/end points/conditions.

4) Why have Blum Blum and Shub on the Options/Dice/RNG list if in turn the copies are compiled without it?
