QB664PE v3.10.0 is now live for X-Mas!!

Edit:
I usually expand the qb64pe into a ram drive.  (just faster than HDD) Before copying my bas sources and other stuff.  (into ram drive copy). Then I rename original qb64pe to qb64pe-org.  Being very cautious.  Here is the thing.  There are a couple of files which are marked "Read-only" in the directory structure.  So when I move the new ram drive directory of qb64pe to my HDD.  I get warnings about deleting read-only files.

Do those files have to be "read-only" attributed ?
attached list of names n paths

There's no need to make any files read-only, so just change the attribute as needed.

More than that its all files in ......\opt\..... which are not required at all, the first thing I do after extracting a new qb64pe release is typically go into internal\c\c_compiler and completely delete the folders "licenses", "opt" and "share". It's about 3/4 of the entire windows package (some 15000 files) which are absolutely not required to compile any QB64 programs.

We could just strip out these from the package, if there wouldn't be the license requirement to distribute only the full unmodified MinGW package. However, you as the end user are under no obligation to keep all these "dead" unused files on your drive.
