[Gambas-user] Runtime 10 files

[T Lee Davidson]

Mike,

Is 'If the above command returns "TRUE" the RUNTIME files are  installed' now obsolete?

And, I could very well be wrong, not being on a deb-based system, but shouldn't "apt install" actually be "apt-get install"?

Oh, and it may be a little nit-pick, but to avoid possible confusion on the part of your readers: it's not a "v10" runtime, it's
a v3.10.0 runtime. And, in "Gambas3  v3.10.0" the first '3' is redundant. ;-)
