You can run a 64 bit pvserver and connect to it with a 32bit ParaView Client. Does that satisfy your needs?

Also, the GUI presented by ParaView is programmed in Qt 4. When Qt 4.5 comes out then the journey to 64 bit on the client side should be straight forward although I am sure there will be "bumps" along the way. What specific "Paraview GUI Components" are you trying to avoid by writing your own client? (which is based on vtk/Qt itself as you state, which will have the _exact_ same problems that ParaView has with 32/b4 bit.)

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe you can point me in the right direction for an alternate solution then? I have a 12-16 gigabyte image dataset that will be loaded by a 64 bit pvserver. I would like to develop a client using paraview as a library to connect this dataset to a client-side image plane widget. The rest of my client is written in pure vtk/Qt so I'm avoiding paraview GUI components to make my journey to 64-bit Qt/Cocoa easier.
