Looks good, haven't seen any problems yet, thanks Pelle.

@JohnF: Thanks, good to know.

@AlexN:

1) Not sure I understand your problem with Application Data; seems to be a recommended place by Microsoft. At least there should be no data files under "Program files". Having the user select the location will most likely cause many more problems than it will solve.

My problem with this place is, that at a shutdown of my computer, the profile datas are stored on a server (so you can login on another computer in your domain and you have there your own profile). And the stored datas include the files in "Application Data". The place an the server is limited to 24MB. So 50-100MB are to much for this limit.

But as long Pelles C works with moved sysdefs.tag, it is not a realy a problem  for me and I don't know whether  other have a similar problem.

Hi Pelle:

Thank you for the many additions that you have made to the compiler and tools and as well for the production of a 64 bit version.  Your great efforts are appreciated.

Thank you Pelle!

Pelles C 5.0 Beta works perfectly with BCX. 

BCX is > 30,000 lines of code, so that should give you some confidence in 5.0.

I can't wait until I have a 64 bit PC to play with ;-)

@Robert, @MrBcx: thank you both - appreciated!

Yes, 64 bits is pretty cool - even small things like a single calling convention and no decorated names makes it a little easier to work with...

Wonderful! Excellent update, thanks Pelle!

Wikipedia article updated.

This is great update!
Pelles C tools keep getting better and better!
Until now, no problem with the beta version! I'll keep testing it more.

Thanks

EDIT: I think I found a bug when trying to compile this ADDIN: http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=471.15
EDIT2: Hi Pelle! I fixed the bug by putting a comment at the line 987: //typedef ADDIN_FIND_IN_FILES_A ADDIN_FIND_IN_FILES; in the include\addin.h file.

@Ben_pcc: thanks!

@Freddy: thanks - yes, that line should be removed from addin.h (it only affects ANSI builds, and I only tested new UNICODE builds).
