Thank you for putting that succinctly! I am interested in both kinds of functionality -- running 32-bit programs on 64-bit machines (for testing purposes and "real use") *and* building 32-/64-bit software. I think it is sub-optimal to focus only on one of these aspects when (with perhaps only a tiny additional effort) you can have both. I am not 100% sure what is the best way to get both but the relatively simple ideas put forth by Axel deserve consideration IMO. Ed -- Edward H. Hill III, PhD | ed@xxxxxxx | http://eh3.com/
