Can I port a 64-bit UNIX application to 64-bit Windows unchanged?

Yes. One of the attractive features of the MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers is that very little (and often no) source code changes are needed when migrating to Windows. This remains true for 64-bit to 64-bit migration. Any application which is 64-bit clean will port virtually unmodified. However, source which is not 64-bit clean will need to be made 64-bit clean before porting with MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers 64-bit Edition.
