Is there an open source Win64 compiler you would recommend for Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 beta 64-bit? Or better yet until I can get the compiler, please make the alpha/beta version of the 64-bit binary available for download and we'll test it for you. The first thing I'm looking for is going beyond the RAM limitations of WIN32 compiled WireShark. Then I want to experiment with Skinny SCCP packets on those larger captures.
