Who ever needs a 64-bit version of DOS, especially if you need to emulate an entire processor while achieving it? 32-bit is just fine. I don't know why would anyone switch to 64-bit for DOS, since people don't even use the advantages out. Of course, experimenting with 64-bit is still cool! ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
