From Newsgroup: comp.lang.tcl

Just a note to the group that I'm progressing with E4W. I have it
building for 32-bit from Visual Studio 17.14.13 on Windows 10. No
release is ready at this time as I lack a way of testing. There is the
WOW thunk layer for running 32-bit apps on 64, but I'd prefer not to use
it for debugging the debugger ;) It might work, unsure. I guess I
should set up a development environment on XP in maybe a virtual machine
or something?

A 64-bit build is hampered by how the DbgHelp APIs have changed for
WIN64. Also the low-level aspects of how the extension sets debugger breakpoints on interested console API calls is just far too complex and fragile for me to manage.

A deep rewrite is needed to move to a method called trampolines provided
by the Detours library. Getting [interact] to work with that will be challenging, though. trampolines would run inside the spawned process
which means IPC mailboxing is needed for both directions.
