I've got VAST 12 on windows (64 bit) and was curious if I could get it <br>

Topaz (on windows) connects to the gemstone server no problem.<br>
VAST12 won't load the libraries. This is most likely because the 64 bit <br>
dll provided is for visual works and the only VAST libraries are 32bit.<br>
Will there be a VAST 64 bit windows client library coming soon?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is incorrect.

(On a similar note, the documentation lists 3 files that need to be <br>
copied, but only two are available. The third is the vc runtime stuff. <br>
Presume I must find those elsewhere?)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I just looked at the 3.6.8 distribution and both the bin and bin32 directories include msvcr100.dll.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>If you want to interface directly to the GCI library, refer to the GemBuilder for C documentation.
