[CVALE] Running x86 programs on a 64 bit processor...

[Robert Grunsky]

Hmmm Good question. I kinda know some of the words that has been described
as the process for this, But I really can't remember at the moment. I just
decided to stick with 32 bit and save myself the hassle. But I would like to
know if you still have to create a seperate 32 bit environment and stuff...
Is there no way to just emulate 32 bit? sorry I couldn't help but maybe if
there's 2 people asking, there'd be more inclination to answer ;)
