On August 31, 2005 10:37 AM I received the following reply from
Laurentiu Dragan [mailto:ldragan at uwo.ca] (Aldor compiler maintainer)
Re: compiling Aldor from source for x86-64 (AMD 64).

I wrote to Stephen concerning access to the source code so that
I could do the build myself but so far I have not had any response.

Regards,
Bill Page.
