Gaol on x64

[Thibaut Feydy]

Hi,

will the mathlib (then gaol) be eventually ported to  pentium or amd 64 ?
I've been realising than there are more and more 64 bits PCs at my workplace (in fact all new PCs) and i see the time coming when there won't be any 32bits PCs left.

Cheers

I have created a branch of gaol that works correctly on microsoft visual
studio 6.0 and
microsoft visual studio 2003 and is working on linux AMD64 bit . In the
gaol package there is
a test case in the directory check , all tests case was succefully done.

===============================================================================

All binaries and libraries are generated automatically in the gaol\bin and
gaol\lib directories and
Debug and Release have different names (gaol.dll ,gaolD.dll )

this is a work of 7 day , i hope it will be usefull and i hope it can will
be plugged  in the mainstream.
