Android packages are signed zipfiles, and have much the same access patterns as hpkgs; there's a special tool called zipalign which ensures that the files in the zipfile are 4-aligned. This allows Android to mmap() the zipfiles and access file data using 32-bit instructions. i.e they are *not* aligning the files to block boundaries, presumably because they think it's not worth it. -- ┌─── dg@cowlark.com ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "There does not now, nor will there ever, exist a programming │ language in which it is the least bit hard to write bad programs." --- │ Flon's Axiom
