</div>That's a good idea. As far as I know, Pd vanilla 0.42.5 was the first<br>
version that was fully usable on 64-bit. Pd-extended 0.43 is the first<br>
version where the all the libs are expected to run on 64-bit (at least<br>
on GNU/Linux, still no Gem on Mac OS X). Here's my quick stab at this<br>
page and I don't even have a 64-bit OS. Can the 64-bit people add and<br>
edit this to something useful :-D<br>

(Also, someone could make this "an XXX bits float can store a YYY bits integer" a bit more clear as I personally still don't really understand it. I also remember vaguely some criticism of this system, that it is not very efficient? Matju? If you guys explain it here on the list I'll be happy to add it to the wiki.)<br clear="all">
