Architecture Neutral Distribution Format - (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.

No references found			Though not a true mobile code representation (since it does not address network transportation or verifiability), the Architecture Neutral Distribution Format (ANDF) demonstrates the portability benefits of platform-independent tree-oriented program representations. Intermediate representations of mobile code by Amme, Wolfram; Heinze, Thomas S.; von Ronne, Jeffery / Informatica UK's Defense Research Agency reports interest in ANDF, the architecture neutral distribution format technology, once the Unix industry's great white hope for creating write-once, run- anywhere applications, has risen dramatically since the Linux bandwagon began gathering momentum in the last few months.
