is v7.20 64-bit?

Paul,

do you have some new information related to a first 64 bit version? We are very interested in it and some new information would be great. Do you think a first release of a 64 bit version this year is realistic?

We are aiming to release a beta version of 64 bit FTN95 before the end of 2015 and at the moment this seems to be a realist goal.

I remember that the first estimation last year was about March-April of this year. Then we heard that you guys already were testing and benchmarking it. And now the date slips for 6 months. Or more as this will be only a beta?

What a holly wait

<here deleted was a story of my 20 years polite requests to Salford if they plan to make 64bit compilers and the ones for the supercomputers...>

Keeping the following aphorism in mind, I don't have any complaints.

The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time.

Will add: and be sure that the final 1% of the code and the code validation will stretch out of you another 90% of development time. At your own personal time expenses.

LOL That factor of 3 will be more precise universal estimation...
