ANDF ==>
Architecture Neutral Distribution Format
<programming, operating system> (ANDF) An emerging OSF standard for
software distribution. Programs are compiled into ANDF before distribution and
executables are produced from it for the local target system. This allows
software to be developed and distributed in a single version then installed on a
variety of hardware.
