Compiling WinISIS for 64-bits is not that easy as stated here, unfortunately. If it was, it would have been done already for quite some time.
The problem is that indeed the underlying I/O and database functions are taken from the 32-bits CISIS libraries, which would indeed allow re-compilation into 64-bits, but the graphical libraries used were taken from a nowadays inexisting tool ZinC++ which were - at that time - only available in 16-bits. For this part there is no easy transition to 64-bits.
However if somebody, or some group of people (student projects etc...) would be interested to do so, as there is still high demand for WinISIS as a stand-alone tool, even when there are now other alternative solutions available which run in 64-bits (and unlike WinISIS also in Linux), e.g. ABCD and J-ISIS, that would still be very much welcomed.

Hi

Can someone tell if there exists a 64-bits version of the latest standard Winisis?
If not: who is responsible for the source code now? Because one could compile it for 64-bit platforms without too much trouble.

Thanks in advance
