I am glad to hear that the OpenEXR code works well at 64-bits on an 
Itanium CPU running Windows and 64-bit 'x86 Windows.  If so, then 
OpenEXR must be much better prepared than the vast majority of 
existing software packages.  I have not yet tried my own code in those 
environments, but although it works great at 64-bits on other systems 
(SGI, Compaq Alpha, AMD Opteron with Linux, UltraSPARC) I expect it to 
go "kersplat" as a 64-bit Windows program.

Some Microsoft compiler warnings are simply annoying.  It seems that

  pragma warning( disable: 4800 )

should eliminate the silly warning about bool conversions.
