- Since NT has been ported to the alpha and r4000, both 64 bit
- architectures, can we expect a 64 bit Windows API at some point int
- the future? The reason I ask is because 32 bit pointers just aren't
- long enough for a lot of apps. And I'd hate to think that on a 64 bit
- machine with N Gbytes of memory I'd have to use some weird kinds of
- handles to access memory beyond the 4G barrier (only 2 Gs under NT).
