<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The only version of NSYNONYM.EXE (generate synonym database for/from nds user objects) available is a 16bit program, which cannot run on 64bit Windows systems. I need a version of nsynonym.exe compiled as a 32bit program, so we can retire our old Windows Server 2003. Since Windows Server 2003 is approaching it's end-of-life, this problem ist getting more urgent every day.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The strange thing is, the new Mercury 4.80 beta actually contains a 32bit version of ch_syn.exe, which gerenates synonyms from a Bindery database. Surely there are more NDS installations than old NetWare Bindery setups using Mercury.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Greetings<o:p></o:p></span></p><p> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language: EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Markus</span></p>

Did you trial the one from 4.80beta?

<p>[quote user="Sellerie"]Did you trial the one from 4.80beta?
