Hello Michael,

no, so far there´s no 64-bit version.

I´m not really enthused about having several different versions (for different
operating systems and/or CPUs) - I still remember the troubles with all those
Intel/AMD-optimized versions ... :-(

And since Chest itself isn´t optimzed for 64-bit structures at all, the effect
of such a 64-bit version would probably be only marginal.

Regards,
Franz.
