The Linux versions of the Utilities share the same source code with the Mac versions. They are developed and maintained on the Mac using Real Studio. Real Studio provides cross-compilation for Mac and Linux (and Windows). Real Studio does not yet support 64-bit Linux. So until it does, I have no way of providing 64-bit. If someone would like to take on the task of porting all of the Utilities to native Linux, I'm sure it could be arranged. But it would be a *massive* project. The Elecraft Utilities are not trivial apps. They have been in development for years. I'm not sure that investing the time and effort necessary would be worth it - just to get a 64-bit binary. The 32-bit versions works just fine on 64-bit as long as the 32-bit compatibility libraries are installed.
