Hi John, thank you for the responce. I've found no info or how-to about Win x64 version of the Boost on www.boost.org, so I'll appreciate for any data concerned. All we need is just to implement 3 Boost 1.32 libs (libboost_date_time, libboost_regex, libboost_filesystem) for x64 application. Is it enough just to rebuild ones with x64 compiler (MS 8, Intel 9) from sources? What code version is good for it? Sorry I have no time for regular reggression testing, but could find remote access to x64 host if somebody would be interested in it.

There are some Windows applications using some of Boost libraries and have to be ported to x64 (em64t, amd64) platform. Does anybody have information on followed topics:
- is the x64 porting in nearest plans (MS VC 8 or Intel 9 compilers) ? - who from Boost team is interested in the x64 on Windows porting ? - can I participate in x64 porting ?
What porting is actually needed? There are certainly people using Boost on Win64 already.
If you have the resources to help the most important thing you could would be to run the regression tests regularly on Win64 (either IA64 or AMD64) and report the results (sign up to the Boost-testing mailing list to help and instructions for this). Many of us have the 64-bit compilers, but not the platforms to run the executables on: so once the tests are run you should get help in sorting out any problems.
Regards, John.
