I guess there was confusion about DMD support for a particular host platform vs a particular target platform. If DMD does't even run or work correctly on 64-bit machines, even in 32-bit mode, (I don't know, as I don't use them) then yes, that indeed is a very major problem. > Thanks, > K.Wilson > > P.S.
