IBM changed the @sys name used for their distribution of AFS for Windows to "i386_w2k". I don't believe that this is a particularly useful change since there are not significant differences between the platforms. I am going to make the following proposal for @sys names for future releases of OpenAFS for Windows which will help distinguish the platform OpenAFS is running on: x86_win32 - for x86 32-bit architectures x86_win64 - for x86/amd 64-bit architectures itanium_win64 - for itanium 64-bit architectures Does anyone feel that these are bad choices? As OpenAFS for Windows supports multiple names I am going to set the sysname list to "x86_win32 i386_w2k i386_nt40" on existing 32-bit systems The new platforms will get the new single name.
