[DUG] Libraries and 64 bit

[John Bird]

We started to test whether some web services would compile under 64bit 
Windows (currently all are 32 bit Windows) as all the relevant servers are 
64bit.

Investigated code, looking for points in

http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE8/en/Converting_32-bit_Delphi_Applications_to_64-bit_Windows

and found the main places where issues showed up was in 3rd party controls:
DCrypt, Turbo Power LockBox, TMS , AsynchPro, ICS

Some of the code has issues, some will just not build under 64 bit (eg some 
had code in blocks IFNDEF WIN32 that does not get compiled in 32 bit but 
does in 64bit and fails, some had assembly routines defined within pascal 
routines - a no-no with 64bit)

Wondering what others experience is with 64 bits, and others experience of 
the state of 64bit readiness in 3rd party libraries
