But I would have thought that Vista64 would run any Win32 program which uses only mature system API calls. Open Watcom C/C++ is my favorite compiler because while running under 1 OS - eComStation (OS/2) in my case - it can produce all Xwisp2 executables: 32-bits versions for eCS, Win32 *and* *Linux*. And FYI the current version of the compiler is exactly 1 year *young*!. Xwisp2 compiled here also successfully with the GCC compiler (3.3.5), and others have built BSD and OSX executables. The source of Xwisp2 is available, including a makefiles for GCC, so anybody with Vista64 and GCC should be able to produce alternative executables (but with a 64-bits OS there may arise issues with the size of int, long, etc).
