Below is the method to update GCB under Linux e.g. Xubuntu in case useful to anybody. Step 1: Downloaded GCB@Syn_build_1137.rar $ md5sum GCB@Syn_build_1137.rar 1113151a6bc28917d0ec89bd99ef93bf GCB@Syn_build_1137.rar Step 2: This test build will replace e.g. 0.99.01 2022-01-27 (Linux 64 bit) : Build 1073 Rename ~/GreatCowBASIC to ~/GreatCowBASICbuild1073 or simply remove old version. $ cd ~;unrar x ~/Downloads/GCB@Syn_build_1137.rar Enter password to the download (GCB) GreatCowBASIC/commands.dat -...

Certainly. BTW Where does one locate new builds under test? Last evening we downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gcbasic/ $ md5sum GCB@Syn.rar 28e2536d4dcdb7db6d5cbf2e36e230ca GCB@Syn.rar and it builds into... 0.99.01 2022-01-27 (Linux 64 bit) : Build 1073 but expected Build 1135 if you are about to release 1136 Googling: 'great cow basic latest build' results... http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/Typesetter/index.php/Download Download latest version dated 30Jan2022 - not the latest build...

When you 'merge into build 1136' do you paste the changes into the latest sources (e.g. Build 1135 sources) or use the entire source files I sent? It is just that I notice I was working with andymc@mvac18:~$ gcbasic /version 0.98.<<>> 2021-<<>>-24 (Linux 64 bit) : Build 1005 $ md5sum ~/GreatCowBASIC/sources/*.ref acd82332efc47156b0c628f69aae7204 ~/GreatCowBASIC/sources/preprocessor.bi.ref 68c6f16887ae9662c8dc30cc601bd675 ~/GreatCowBASIC/sources/utils.bi.ref whereas you mention making build 1136....

Done. Please see above
