I used 32-bit libs to compile husky stuff.  I don't think it is safe to
compile as pure 64-bit.  Also I didn't put any of the husky libs on the
system and instead have them running and linked in it's own enviroment.  Is
your system multilib capable?  If not then there will be problems
especially with zipped files and the such.  I also built a 32-bit unzip in
the Fido enviroment just to keep the DOS-think people happy but kept the
outbound pkts as raw ftn format just to play it safe.

Bottomline is that 16-bit apps are a real bugger to port to a pure 64-bit
system.  Much easier to do to 32-bit then to 64-bit.

Life is good,
Maurice
