FTN95 8.0 Personal does not allow /64 ?

I found that FTN95 Personal V8 is now available at http://silverfrost.com/32/ftn95/personal_edition.aspx , and that page seems to advertise that the personal edition can produce 64-bit EXEs, since one of the highlights is '32- and 64-bit compiler'. However, after downloading and installing, I find that the compiler says

[FTN95/Win32 Ver. 8.00.0 Copyright (c) Silverfrost Ltd 1993-2016] *** The personal edition is not available in FTN95/64

if the /64 compiler option is given.

Please clarify the policy. I hope that if you continue to make the personal edition available you will not exclude 64-bit users.

That was not our intention. The Personal Edition should have included the ability to use the 64-bit compiler but a mistake caused it to be turned off. We will rectify this shortly.

It will be announced on this forum and the home page news section.

Quite soon hopefully. Work on FTN95 is on going. That means we cannot just release a new version -- we have to make sure it is stable and then run a huge range of tests.

v8.05 PE includes the 64 bit compiler.
