-==Changes since build 73f==
+== Installation ==
-Build 73f was an internal Microsoft build and thus included an internal-only version of WINBUG.EXE. Build 73g was apparently a more widely distributed build and includes a completely different WINBUG, intended for non-Microsoft testers. This seems to be the only major change between the two builds, as they appear to be otherwise identical.
