So I tried again to build it with version .90.1
First, the freebasic version Evan posted was missing the file crt/long.bi, so I copied it in.
Then I got to following errors trying to compile-
F:\FreeBasicProgs\gstool>\FreeBASIC901\fbc -s console "g+stool.bas"
F:\FreeBasicProgs\gstool\zlib.bi(59) error 4: Duplicated definition in 'type uInt as ulong'
F:\FreeBasicProgs\gstool\zlib.bi(89) error 58: Illegal specification, at parameter 1 (2) in 'type alloc_func as function(byval opaque as voidpf, byval items as uInt, byval size as uInt) as voidpf'
F:\FreeBasicProgs\gstool\zlib.bi(90) error 58: Illegal specification, at parameter 1 (2) in 'type free_func as sub(byval opaque as voidpf, byval address as voidpf)'
F:\FreeBasicProgs\gstool\zlib.bi(104) error 14: Expected identifier in 'opaque as voidpf'
so, wasn't compiled with version .90.1 either, at least not with that version of zlib. Perhaps zlib got update somewhere along the line, but it doesn't appear it was compiled with Evan's official version of 90.1
If you see no problems with using 1.07,01 I just continue on.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Version 0 .90.1 may work with an older version of the window9-lib (the "window9.bi" in my FreeBasic 0.90 Folders is dated 2013-06-15), but I can see no reason to continue with this outdated versions.

Hugh - Evan - any update on the new release?
I am holding off on my Debug Kernel code until I see and test the core changes that I need.

@Chris. Just emailed Hugh, only a few moments ago,
Hold the line caller.
