It is 64-bit fixed (along with a bunch of other show-stopper bugs in the ancient FLTK code, and I got rid of the bizarre UI they they used only for *nix and replaced it with the UI they used for Windows). There were a couple 64-bit safety issues in the prc compiler too which I also fixed.

Good to hear (I have my own 64-bit fixed pilrc but POSE was the missing piece). What do you mean by the Windows UI, though? Likely I'd compile this on my MacBook.

When opening POSE without a previous session, on Windows it would open a reasonable window with some buttons (New, Open, Download, Exit). On *nix, they instead decided to open a blank window that said “Right click on this window to show a menu of commands”. (And then, due to programming errors and bitrot, actually trying to use the context menu would access invalid memory and crash.) So I replaced that bad UI with the less bad one from Windows. :-)
