> > * Moved registry settings from old CLSID to new one

> > reading registry data
> > * Removed unused registry entries (SecureFile value under DQSD_CLSID
> > -- possibly used earlier but no more, etc)
> > * Added build64.cmd which uses VS2008 to build an x64 version of
> > DQSDTools.dll, and builds a zip archive called DQSDx64.zip from the
> > source tree
> > * Added setupx64.cmd, which, when run from the unpacked DQSDx64

> > * Removed dqsd.xml -- it didn't seem current or useful
