Posted By: MZ5 Is QL 3.9 a 64-bit program? - 02/15/19
I have v3.4 and it is 32-bit. Wondering whether 3.9 is 64-bit. I sent a message to Neconos but have not heard back. I ask because my OS complains about how very soon only 64-bit software will be allowed.

Anyone know, or can anyone here reach Mr. Broemel to ask?
New CD-ROM version 3.9 requires Windows XP, Vista, W-7, W-8 or W-10.

If it runs on XP or Vista it’s not 64 bit.

That's not necessarily true as both XP and Vista had 64-bit versions (Windows XP 64-bit wasn't common and was the red headed step child of the Microsoft OS world). Even so, that does mean it's incredibly likely to be 32-bit.

Thanks for the reply, Swifty.

Okay, here's detailed, semi-geeky stuff to explain why I'm asking:
I run QL on my Macintosh. It runs perfectly inside a Crossover bottle. The issue is that Apple says they will force everything to 64-bit soon. Crossover is 64-bit, but even the software inside it must be 64-bit, or so we understand.

Sooo... I need a 64-bit version of QuickLOAD, QuickTARGET Unlimited, etc.
When talking Apple, they do things a bit different. Sounds like they are getting rid of legacy/backwards compatibility or 32 bit. Win 10 didn’t.
