w32 and w64 versions will give slightly different results for the same simulation.	Section 9.5	No workaround. Use the same platform (w32 or w64) for all simulations. Use Model Platform to force which platform should be used.
New default settings.	Section 9.5	Set Defaults == PRE 2010-10 if similar results are required to the 2008-08 or 2009 07 releases.
