I know this is a win32 programming group, but I thought
it might be of interest anyway that I have effectively
(can be quibbled) developed a technique to convert a
UEFI system into a Win64 system.

You can get "University Challenge x64" from http://pdos.org
and boot it on a modern system and type in:

w64test.exe abc def

to execute the provided example Win64 executable.

You can run that same executable on a real Win64 system
if you wish.

I'm not quite sure what direction this will go in now.

And now it is a Win32 system (still under LM64). See the
bottom of the UCX64 section.

I remembered that I had a public domain C compiler which
only worked in a win64 environment, so I tried it out, and
it turned out to be close enough to C90-compliant to handle
all of my code - so now there is an entire public domain OS
and toolchain available (still called UCX64).

Because of the primitive shell, I haven't yet been able to test
it properly - obviously I want to prove that it can rebuild itself.
