Hi Lutz,

Is it possible to get a "Linux64" entry as "ostype" ?

Running 32 bits and 64 bits does not visually differentiate between versions..

..which is somewhat confusing sometimes when running multiple newlisps..

Regards, Norman.

This will be added to the list returned by 'sys-info', probably as an additional bit in the last field as a compile flavor on a specific platform:

Code Select Expand
bits 0 to 5: platform

bit 6: library
bit 7: UTF8 support
bit 8: 64-bit   -> new in 9.3.7
bit 9: IPV-6    -> new in 9.3.7

I don't want to burden 'ostype' with this, which would be used independently of the compile flavors on a platform.
