Sorry Neil, I have been away for most of Christmas so wasn't around to respond to your message on SHG. Happy Holidays to you and your family (And all the other BGO'ers).

I am unaware of any 64 bit builds on Windows. Some of the support files have "32" in it (Usually DLL's). I am assuming that is what you see.

Although there isn't a 64 bit version on Windows, I have built such a beast on Debian Linux. There is very limited increase (almost nothing) in speed on that platform (I assume it will be the same for Windows). One of the reasons for this is that the bulk of processing inside Gnubg is done with the SSE2 instruction set (Which is the same on 32bit and 64bit).
