Yeah, what happened to me was I upgraded and then all my messages/users
went away because the 64/32 bit issue. Basically the structures for
files suck as inf.sys (which contain the user list) use 'long' which is
64-bits on 64 bit systems and 32-bits on 32-bit systems. So when you
upgrade from 32 to 64 bits all the data is lost.
However, this change would cause issues for anyone now who has been
64-bit since the change. I can send again in the correct format but
with an #ifdef so that it can only be turned on only for people who
need it.
