Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base and Java 1.7 - does not work

Hi :)
Don't worry!

32bit apps run on 64bit systems perfectly well.  It is the other way around that would be a 
problem.  Think of a pint glass.  A full pint fits in fine.  Drink a bit and the half pint fits in 
fine too.  The other way around would not work!  A half-pint glass would not hold a full pint!  In 
our case the operating system is the container and the apps are the tasty beer :)  

Regards from
Tom :)

Dear LibreO folks out there,

At least in Finland since a year back almost all PCs and laptops are Windows7-64bit;  I purchased a 
laptop Win7Premium-64bit last November.
It is a little astonishing and worrying to read that LibreO is a 32-bit application under any 
Windows-OS but I have seen no info about LibreO being only 32-bits - not 64 bits nor 32/64 bits.
I have been told that a 64-bit machine needs 64-bits software.

In the coming summer at my cottage in the wilderness of deep forest, far from civilization, I 
should very much like to work with Writer, Calc and Base (continue trying to complete and create 
databases) without any problems at all.

What version of LibreO do you recommend that I install on my laptop (Win7-Premium Home-64bit)

Do the LibOs on my machines communicate with each other without problems when my PC's OS is 
Win-Prof/32 bit and it's LibreO v.3.4.6?
