[plt-scheme] Can't run Dr. Scheme

My apologies for the repeated responses, but I just
remembered that some IDE's will not run on 64-bit
CPU's.  Windows Server 2003 supports 64-bit CPU's, but
it is not clear whether DrScheme does.

If I may ask, which CPU are you currently running
Windows Server 2003 on, and is it a 32-bit or a 64-bit
CPU?
