Those are mostly binary-only, proprietary applications that haven't been updated for a long time. In an x86_64 environment, you can indeed run x86 (32-bit) code, as long as you have all necessary 32-bit versions of the required libraries instead. I recently deleted the only binary-only program on my system, so I'm now clean in that respect, i.e., I'm not running anything for which I can't get the source. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the emacspeak list or change your address on the emacspeak list send mail to "emacspeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxx" with a subject of "unsubscribe" or "help"
