I am still disappointed that DMD is not native 64 bit in windows 
yet.  Please show exactly how you are getting 64 bit to work in 
windows 10. I have never gotten this to work.  for any version of 
DMD.   All of my new $400.00 systems are 4 gig 64 bit windows 
10...    and the processor instruction sets are very nice.  I 
dabble in assembler.   I have always wondered why D does not take 
advantage of newer instructions...... and 64 bit. I see a 64 Bit 
droid Compiler for D.  :):):)
