Hello PD,
I don't know what Friedhelm actually did for sure. But my recollection
is that he created an _installer_ for 64 bit software. He did not
actually change the Ecco code to 64-bit. I concerns me that he muddied
the water by changing version names. I am sure he had his reasons, but
it could come off as disingenous. I paid him a membership fee for
other reasons. I appreciated his making MyPhoneExplorer work with Ecco
for us, and his website was another place to find Ecco stuff. But
EccoMagic has always been my go to website for learning new stuff and
new tools. --Chris
