OK, let's give it a go. It appears that there is virtually no work to convert source code to win64 compatible, as the main problem area would be if the program uses UINT or DWORDs aliased as pointers, which the dll does not, AFAIK. So if we can figure out how to compile a 64 bit dll from the command line using express tools (or any tools that can create 64 bit windows dlls), it _should_ work right away (Famous Last Words). I see that I have not actually compiled this dll in years, so let me see if the source code still works (ie if I have the right version), then put in some logging code, and then I will post the source and let you know what I have done. It will likely be in a few days, unless things go very well indeed.
