Thanks very much. I'll try to download the 64 bit version as soon as it is available. BTW, I almost always use the most recent build (full racket) From time to time there may be a bug, but in general the nightly builds are surprisingly stable for my way of using Racket. I am not afraid of non backward compatible changes. With a set of my own testing modules it is very easy to find where to adapt older code of my own (for a major revision, may be 10 to at most 100 corrections on an estimated total of 50000 lines of code. Possibly because I only use a small subset of all that Racket has to offer) Thanks again, Jos

If you've installed the released x86 binary, then that's a 32-bit build, which means that it works the same as it did anywhere else. You need to use a 64-bit build to get the bigger word sizes. We started to make those builds shortly after the last release, so you can try to install Windows 64-bit from the nightly builds page: http://pre.racket-lang.org/installers/ -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
