Yes. It's the same basic concept. In fact, before they were dubbed

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. :)
