I am not sure I understand. Could we get a relocatable Strawberry+Padre on 32 bit today using 5.12 and then once RT#55660 is fixed a 64 bit version can also join the family? If so then I'd prefer not to wait with RT#55660 just so that we have both 64 bit and 32 bit. regards Gabor _______________________________________________ Padre-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perlide.org/mailman/listinfo/padre-dev
