I do not say that Thebat will run faster, but i prefer using native 64 bits apps when it's possible, in a few months/years 32 bits apps should disapear, like old 16 bits apps. Otherwhile, why Thebat is compiled today for 32 bits and not a 16 bits like old windows 3.0 app ? 16 bits apps are still running with Windows XP, and TB should not be slower compiled in 16 bits :) The question is not "why", but "why not", 64 bits is the future. | `- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Best regards... _ (_' L'informatique est ma passion, vous la simplifier, mon métier ! ,_)téphane Bouvard [antarex AT freenet DOT be] http://www.antarex.be ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
