The more things change the more they stay the same. 4D like any company makes decision on how to spend money. There are probably not enough users of 4D write to warrant the cost associated with porting to 64 bit. While this hurts at one of my customers, think of it this way. How many of you used to work using Foxbase, dBase, Omnis, to name a few. Just be greatful that the company has been able to keep up with the times and is still a viable product.
