I understand windows vista 64-bit is not supported for the basic LDraw libraries needed to run any of the user-created editors.  I'm curious though... what's preventing it?  Do you just need someone to recompile the source code on a 64-bit machine?

I know LDraw is an open standard; is the code also open-source?

I'm considering using LDraw models for a graduate data visualization class next semester, and I'm curious what options there are for running these programs on my 64-bit machine.

Ideas?

Thanks for you time,
