1.0.8 works just fine as long as Crafty is set up correctly it. For some reason
most people are under the impression that the EGTB directory can be specified in
the .rc file. It has to be either in the default complied path (normally ./TB)
or specified on the command line. I have tested 1.0.8 with Crafty and it works
just fine.
