[fpc-pascal] Floating point question

[James Richters]

I seem to recall there is some way to get 80 Bit Extended on 64 Bit Windows, but it involved compiling a 64bit version of FPC myself somehow, and I can't remember what it was all about, I'm pretty sure I was doing that for a while, but then I wanted to upgrade and couldn't remember how it was all done, so I went back to Win32, just to get 80 Bit Extended.   It's something to do with the cross compiler to 64 bit makes extended a double on 64bit, but if you weren't cross compiling and had just a native 64bit compiler then Extended is 80 bits again.
