29 64-bit LispWorks

This chapter summarizes the technical differences between 64-bit LispWorks and 32-bit LispWorks. Both are ANSI Common Lisp implementations and support the same language extensions and libraries, so in many ways they behave the same. However the programmer should be aware of the differences mentioned here.
