Yes. It's the same basic concept. In fact, before they were dubbed
"Universal", they were actually called "fat" on Next.

I'm reminded of the old Fat binaries with the 68K to PPC transition. Do
they work basically the same way?

I think Apple engineers still consider them "fat", given that the tool used
to "thin" them is called "lipo" :)

No, we call them "universal". Most tools in the system use that terminology, but we didn't rename lipo because it would've broken existing scripts and didn't have a great name. "universalize" doesn't really work all that well. :)
