   Let's try again.   
      
   What possible definition do you have for a 31-bit executable?   
   What does that mean, e.g. when that exact same executable is   
   running on S/370 (as AM24) or z/Arch (as AM64)?   
      
   What terminology do you use to distinguish an executable that   
   is using 32-bit pointers using only S/390 instructions and one   
   that is using 64-bit pointers, using z/Arch instructions?
