OR... it's entirely possible that what I said is the case: executable
CIL assemblies are tagged as 32-bit so they can be run on 32-bit
systems.  IL is platform-independent; if C# compilers tagged
executables 64-bit then they would not run on 32-bit systems, and what
sense would that make?

It may be a good idea to read replies carefully instead of assuming
incorrect information.  :)
