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
