WinLIFT 64-bit is now on my front burner.

Title: 64-bit version - completed

After 2 monthes work, i have just completed the translation of WinLIFT to C/C++ using only pure SDK style (no MFC, no ATL).

Thus we can really make a size comparison with the original version.

PowerBASIC
32-bit 217 Kb (221 696 bytes)

C/C++
32-bit 193 Kb (197 632 bytes)
64-bit 236 Kb (241 664 bytes)

Ouch...  8)

Wow, awesome... sure wish you could share your code... but I understand... it's WINLIFT!  : )

Also, found a great book:

Jim,
  I would not recommend that for someone just starting out. I have it but have not read much yet.
This is the one most in the know recommend for beginners.
