Thanks Kirk. I was referring to the samples. At the time I looked, I could not find any sample classes compiled with 64 bit java. I know that you can write your own code and run it with the 64 bit launcher, but I wanted to run the sample code. And there was no source code for the dlls used by the samples so that they could be recompiled. I will look again.

For example: classes for doing dataset I/O. You don't have to use the launcher in order to use the JZOS Toolkit class library, and vice versa.
