[Ham-Mac] MacOS X x86 Intel Support

[Sergei Ludanov]

Although question is for Chris, I'll jump in. With Xcode 2.1 Apple  
introduced universal binaries, which means that it will run on both  
PPC and Intel Macs. The stumbling block here will be for developer  
who are still using Code Warrior for their development. They will  
need to migrate their projects to Xcode and use gcc 4.0. Also if  
programs are not Cocoa they may require a bunch of tweaks and tuning.  
As an exercise I recompiled a couple of my applications to Universal  
binaries yesterday and had no problems whatsoever. So there should  
not be any problems maintaining versions that runs on both  
architectures.
