My application is using SearchKit to build an index. Is this index a

architecture? For example, if I generate the index on a G4 system
(32-bits), will it be readable on the Intel Macs (both 32-and 64-
bit) as it?
I wouldn't count on it.
Does this hold true for all files written by Carbon and Cocoa APIs?
It depends. Unicode text, RTF data, TIFF data, NSCoder data, SQLite
databases, and Web archives are cross-architecture since they either
use one-byte primitives or have the appropriate byte ordering mark in
them identifying them as big-endian or little-endian. If it's a
proprietary file format, then anything goes.
