32-bit and 64-bit versions of MicroGDS
--------------------------------------
There is now a 64-bit version of MicroGDS that you can install onto a
machine running a 64-bit version of Windows XP, Windows Vista, or
Windows 7. This enables you to take advantage of the improved memory
handling of a 64-bit machine. You can run the 32-bit version on a 64-bit
machine, but not the other way around. If you have a 64-bit machine, you
might want to consider installing the 32-bit version of MicroGDS if you
have existing MicroGDS CPD databases that you want to continue to use.
These databases are created with Jet 4.0 and Microsoft do not provide a
64-bit version of the Jet driver.

64-bit application support
--------------------------
If you install the 32-bit version of MicroGDS on a 64-bit operating system,
you will be offered the option of installing the "MicroGDS 2010 64bit 
Application support" module. This is only necessary if you intend running
CadLink .NET applications with MicroGDS.
