Hi Ron,
>You've also neglected the ugly marketing reasons to allow support 64-bit.
I wasn't saying don't support it. I was saying: If you must support 64 bit,
support other posiblities as well.
My own opinion is, double precision streams have no technical merits. I
only want single precision floats, I don't use 24 bit or 64 bit, I was just
trying to be acommodating of your, and other's requirements by suggesting
GMPI support several sample bit depths.
Best Regards,
Jeff
