Rubbish. It makes a lot of sense for most userspace programs to be 32-bit on a 64-bit PowerPC system. Unless a program needs to do 64-bit integer arithmetic or access more than 4GB of address space, it will be smaller and faster as a 32-bit process than as a 64-bit process. PowerPC doesn't disadvantage 32-bit code the way that x86-64 and ia64 do. Paul. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
