I'm curious (not complaining).
Does a Win64 version of the Standalone suite exist? Certainly the 32-bit
binary works fine (the exigencies of WOW64 notwithstanding) but it seems
odd to me 64-bit versions for Mac, Linux, FreeBSD or FreeBSD/Debian
exist but not a 64-bit Windows version. This seems particularly odd
given most laptops/desktops the last few years have been 64-bit with a
64-bit OS even the cheap consumer-grade laptop I bought my wife.
Is there a technical reason or simply lack of a maintainer?

no .. 64 bit binaries even have been tested quite a while ago .. so it's
just a matter of time .. i need to adapt the update script and mojca has
to add something to the garden and we both have been a bit busy recently
(just as on unix there is a bit of performance gain)
