Subject Re: Windows 2003 x64 & Firebird
Author as1616z
Thanks Thomas, but I talk about to use firebird 1.5 and old BDE
applications for 32 bits on a Win 2003 Server 64 bits operating
system, with a Xeon EM64T processor, that "is able" of work with most
of the 32 bits applications.

My doubt is: can this work fine ?. Somebody has experience to the
respect ?

Angel,
