Terry Lambert once stated: =I agree that at some point you are going to lose backward compatability; =I think, however, that XANDF will push this off, since most of the =historical compatability issues can be resolved by regenerating the =assembly code, and relinking, which is implied. Well, what's wrong with plain C-code, for example? Just because it is source and is easier to reverse engineer? Theoreticly, C must be as crossplatform as XANDF or whatnot. Ok, how about Java byte code? =I *really* look forward to the day when I can buy an XANDF Motif =library, and use it on all my hardware, regardless of the CPU type. =8-0. How about buying Java byte code Motif library and compiling it into native binary for all your hardware regardless of the CPU type? Or is XANDF better suited as an intermidiate between source and native? Is it so much better suited that it is worth it to have yet another format? -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
