FP permits it too, just recompile it with FPC_SUPPORT_X87_TYPES_ON_WIN64. But be aware: MS might disable extended support at any time on 64 bit windows as the types are marked as deprecated. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
