I can believe that. SYS$HELP:CC073.RELEASE_NOTES puts it under "5.2
Enhancements in V7.1", but SYS$HELP:CC071.RELEASE_NOTES doesn't mention
it. Trust no one, I always say.

Yup. With /POINTER_SIZE = 64, but without the "= ARGV":

The 64-bit-pointer stuff wasn't my idea, and I have V7.3-xxx C
compilers on my systems, so it'd be ok with me to leave things as-are,
and demand a compiler which supports /POINTER_SIZE = 64 = ARGV, if the
victim wants 64-bit pointers. But if someone thinks that it's worth
the effort, I could try to find an easy way to make everything work with
a pre-April-2007 compiler.
