Of course I get an "wrong architecture" error here on 64 bit Linux. Would it be possible...?

Even though 32-bit applications work on 64-bit Linux, your package manager won't normally let you install packages that are meant for i386. So what you can do is force the install by running "sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i package.deb".

Arrgh, of course you are right. I did that often with other packages. It seems I'm getting to lazy and expect that everything works as expected just by clicking on it.

Thanks for the program.

Note there is a new version of this package, which fixes an under-promotion bug:
