[fpc-devel] Win64 FPC is in wrong download location

2010-05-03 Thread Graeme Geldenhuys
Hi,

Going to SourceForge to download the Win64 version of FPC, you have to
navigate into the Win32 folder?! Surely it would make more sense to
rename Win32 to Windows (so it can contain both 32  64-bit versions),
or create a new Win64 folder for 64-bit versions.

Perhaps the win32 refers to the version of the Windows API?

No, it refers to the host system. The win64 compiler of FPC supplied by 
the fpc team is a cross compiler from win32 to win64.
