64-bit binary distribution of ActiveTcl

Hi!

ActiveState's download page does not offer 64-bit binary distribution of ActiveTcl for 64-bit MS Windows (XP Professional x64 and Server 2003 x64 that can be installed on systems with Intel 64 or AMD64 processor architectures).

Jeff Hobbs said on the comp.lang.tcl group that the 64-bit binaries are included in ActiveTcl Enterprise Edition.
Why are they not available in the free distribution?

Higher maintenance requirements

Hi Robert,

ActiveTcl 64-bit editions are currently only available via the Enterprise Editions because of the higher maintenance requirements of the 64-bit ports.

Cheers,

64-bit binary distribution not available

After release of ActiveTcl 8.5.1.0 and ActiveTcl 8.4.18.0 in February 2008 the binary distributions for 64-bit Windows are still not available for free download.

So I guess that ActiveState's recommendation is to run 32-bit Tcl binaries on 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Am I right?
