Searching for "i64" itanium -OpenVMS in english-language pages there are some references I like "i64" because "i" can be read as "Itanium", but I tend to read "IA" as "Intel Architecture", which becomes misleading. Just my personal preference.

Installs and runs OK. I was not able to change service startup type from Automatic to Manual using the tomcat5w panel, but I think we have already heard about such a problem. >> >> I do not have an IA64 system. > > Yeah, maybe Mladen can jump in, but I think Itanium support for TC 6 is > not that critical, so we can go a slightly higher risk of breaking things. > > Thanks a lot for your explanation, and sorry that I didn't first read > the original patch. OK.
