in thread convert 32-bit storables to 64-bit

Hi Corion,

may I cite the documentation of Storable:

Surprisingly, the routines to be called are named freeze and thaw. If you wish to send out the frozen scalar to another machine, use nfreeze instead to get a portable image.

We work with nfreeze a long time now without any known hassle. But, yes, using freeze crossing architecture boundaries does make problems.

McA

    Thank you for prompting me to (re)read the Storable documentation!

    It seems that Storable got much better especially with forward compatibility since I last looked closely at it.

    I think is the same for nstore, or I have to rewrite my portable project??!? ;=)
