AW: Compatibility to Windows2003 (64-bit)

["Jung, Rudi" <R dot Jung at guenther dot de>]

Hi,

thank you all for the informations.

The IA64 version is released since 2003.
The AMD/EM64T version is planned "for the first half of 2005" (Microsoft info).

Actually, both Corinna and I have 64 bit platforms these days (mine was
donated by an anonymous benefactor.  I still can't get over that).  We
have a workaround for previous problems in current versions of cygwin
so, AFAIK, Cygwin should work on 64 bit windows:

I'll change the main web page if/when 64 bit windows goes out of beta.
Or is it there already?
