ISAPPI 32 and 64-bit versions

[Walden H. Leverich]

Fair enough. I get your point about the binary transport over IP. And since there’s no compelling reason to mix and match it makes sense not to certify it, who knows what gremlins are in there, even though no one has discovered any.

Thx,

Not unless the protocol were HTTP.

Keeping non-trivial C++ code compiling portably between 32 and 64 bit is a
huge effort, and for various reasons I didn't think the numeric data
passing across would stay intact and I never tested it. Nobody who's tried
it has experienced any problems, but I'm not going to spend my time trying
to support that, not with everything else I have to deal with.
