It appears... If the app can be run from the .exe without first being
installed (TFThing can) then it'll function under 64bit okay.
If a 32 bit app requires the full kit 'n kaboodle installation, then it'll
baulk on 64bit.
Well that's what I read...
So if Michael downloads a copy of the TFT zip archive (rather than the
MSI version) extracts the TFT.exe to somewhere, it can be used just by
2/clicking that.
