   Even longer really ... more like 20 years.

   Events tend to move on more quickly than people.

   I think 64-bit uPs came out around 2003/2004 with AMD getting
   first credit.

   DID solve my 64-bit file-seek problem, albeit a bit
   weirdly. First a Python "helper" pgm, then re-did
   it in 'C' (there were weird issues) and it was 50+
   times faster. Anyway, the Free Pascal seek(), despite
   docs, does NOT seem to be 64-bit, just longint. NOT
   big enough at all. 20+ year old thinking there .......

   Hey, I wanted/needed to seek/read anywhere on a 16tb
   hdd. Some could manage that, others couldn't.
