I've tested VS 2008 Beta 2 Express and Standard Edition. I had to uninstall the Express Edition in order to test the Standard Edition. As far as I remember the Express Edition does neither ship with the 64bit compilers nor allows to use the x64 platform. The standard edition has two platforms: Win32 and x64. I haven't figured out if its possible to define custom platforms. The x64 platform uses the amd64 compiler. > See PC/dllbase_nt.txt.

Oh, it's an interesting speed up trick. How was the address table generated. Lucky guessing and gut feeling? :] Christian _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
