Win64 Version of ConTeXt Standalone?
I'm curious (not complaining). Does a Win64 version of the Standalone suite exist? Certainly the 32-bit binary works fine (the exigencies of WOW64 notwithstanding) but it seems odd to me 64-bit versions for Mac, Linux, FreeBSD or FreeBSD/Debian exist but not a 64-bit Windows version. This seems particularly odd given most laptops/desktops the last few years have been 64-bit with a 64-bit OS even the cheap consumer-grade laptop I bought my wife. Is there a technical reason or simply lack of a maintainer? -- Bill Meahan, Westland, Michigan “Writing is like getting married.

no .. 64 bit binaries even have been tested quite a while ago .. so it's just a matter of time .. i need to adapt the update script and mojca has to add something to the garden and we both have been a bit busy recently (just as on unix there is a bit of performance gain) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
