Well, as far as I am concerned, nobody has ever made a case for moving – at some expense – to the 64bit version. Looking at the comparison table I still see nothing that would make a significant difference to my databases.
Moreover, my memory is not what it once was, but I seem to remember the opposite case being made, that is, don’t change unless you need to for the longer names, etc. Am I right to assume that the 64bit version of R:Base is not yet adapted to take advantage of a 64bit operating system? An operating system that itself seems not to be a huge advantage over the 32bit version in any case. Nevertheless, that capability might be worthwhile as my current system came with 64bit Windows.

I wonder why folks are still using 9.5 (32), unless you are stuck and are having difficulties migrating your .RB? databases and applications to 9.5 (64) .RX?, or still using the same .RB? database with R:BASE 9.5 for DOS. For the record, there are sooooooooo many advantages to using R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64). http://www.rbase.com/rbg95/compare.php Converting from R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32) .RB? to R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64) .RX? is as easy as 1-2-3. In any case, NAMEWIDTH setting is eXclusively for R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64). With the default installation of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64), you may find the R:BASE configuration file under the C:\Windows RBENGINE95_32.CFG RBENGINE95_64.CFG In your specific circumstances, you could use the following options to obtain the correct display of your TALLY command: 01.
