Actually, I still use SNIPS, as things like BigBrother take too much
effort (in my opinion) and tend to fall over a lot easier than SNIPS
(and aren't as easily extendable). For the most part, SNIPS "just
works" for me.
I've not tried going 64-bit on NOCOL, however, though I've been building
a new 64-bit Solaris machine... I might be inclined to check it out,
though.
