Architecture Neutral Distribution Format
ANDF
(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.
