Does GrADS work on a 64-bit system?

I encountered some problems with my 64-bit machine a while ago. You do
not have to worry about the binary data at all (sure worry about the
small and big Endian, or byte-order between UNIX and LINUX). However,
some interface commands will not work well. I found several roundabouts
to the small problems. For example, some keyboard input string/number
may not be processed correctly.
