even if you are running on a 64-bit W7 system I would strongly advise
you to insstall the 32-bit (sic!) version of ooRexx instead of the
64-bit version. The 32-bit ooRexx works perfectly well and there is
really no reason to go for the 64-bit at this point in time.
If you were to use the 32-bit version of ooRexx then all existing,
32-bit external Rexx function packages keep on working as in the past,
such that your programs using RexxSQL on ooRexx 4.1.0 would keep working.
[Technically, a 64-bit-version of ooRexx cannot be mixed with 32-bit
external Rexx function packages, hence the advice to use the 32-bit
ooRexx 4.1.0.]
