Re: i Access V7.1 with OS V5R4

You are reading the names wrong. The 64a is for 'all other' 64 bit 
versions while the 64i is for Itanium.  What's that you say? You don't 
see 64i in there? Yep that's right it's no longer supported so the only 
things left are 32 bit and 64a which is the one you want. The 'a' is not 
for 'AMD'.
