    Please note

    You cannot, and should not, selectively use files from the v0.98.06 release with any other version of Great Cow BASIC before v0.98.06

    So, please keep the release consistent in terms of the build.

    If you are adapting the build for your own needs then there are lots of methods to keep the build consistent and enable you to customise – there postings in the forum on how to accomplish this.
