First for some definitions.
* Native application, is an application whose executable code is in the
instruction set architecture of the CPU.
* PowerPC Native application, is an application that contains code only for
a PowerPC microprocessor.
* 680x0 Native application, is an application that contains code only for a
680x0 microprocessor.
Since the Power Macintosh provides 68LC040 emulation for application compatibility, native or native application came to mean executable code, both system routines and third-party software, which runs on the hardware CPU, a PowerPC 601 microprocessor. It distinguishes between software running in emulation, and software running on the hardware.
