RE: Jakarta POI - HWPF for word files

[<Matt.Haas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Mac version of the PowerPC chip doesn't have the special registers
needed by i5/OS. The chips we end up with have 3 modes: 64 bit Unix, 64
bit i5/OS, and 32 bit (which is what the Mac used to use). The Mac chips
only have the 32 bit mode.
