Let me clarify this. GPCP Component Pascal has not been changed to support
64-bit Windows. However, a 64-bit version of the .NET runtime is now
available:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/64bit/default.aspx
"The 64-bit version of the .NET Framework 2.0 allows you to take full
advantage of the underlying 64-bit hardware platform without having to deal
with differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms"
GPCP Component Pascal for .NET generates the 'intermediate language' or
IL-code used by .NET. When you run a '.NET' application, it is compiled on
the fly by the 'Just-in-time' (JIT) .NET compiler which translates the IL
into native code.
Now there exists a 64-bit JIT compiler which generates 64-bit native code
instructions from the IL code where relevant. How this might enhance the
capabilities of GPCP I am yet to find out.
