*Sigh*
I'm disappointed that in this day and age programmers still write code as if
only 32-bit systems existed. One of the 'Fundamentals of New Computing'
needs to be a programmers version of the Hippocratic Oath which includes:
"I will write portable code, which does not assume any specific CPU or
OS, so as to respect the users right to run my software on many
different systems."
