This is one reason I asked what specific limits are being run into. Juts
making "64-bit" versions of LC for OSX or Window will not magically fix
all limits in LiveCode that exists. Many are based on a coded 16 bit or
32 bit bounds. When running into limits, it is better to report the
specific limit - as a bug report at http://quality.livecode.com/ -
rather than looking for 64 bit versions of the engine. It *may* be that
64 bit address spaces is needed to expand the limit, but the again, it
may not.
