VA 7.5.2 64 bit support

Postby Garv » Tue Jun 24, 2008 11:54 am

Hi,

In the VA 7.5.2 release notes, when it states "Support Smalltalk on 64-bit systems" does that mean it runs on Windows-on-Windows 64-bit (WOW64) emulation? Or true support for 64 bit addressing?

Thanks
Garv

VA Smalltalk is a 32-bit application that runs in WOW64 on Windows. On *nix 64-bit platforms it runs with the 32-bit libraries.

Hi,

Just a follow-up on this. Does this remain true with the latest version of VA Smalltalk? i.e. Running under WOW as opposed to native 64 bit support?

Thanks

Yes, VAST 8.0 also runs under WOW64.
