If things were written using Cocoa and X-Code, and followed Apple's guidelines, no, it really is as simple as checking off the Intel build option and recompile. Many programs do not follow Apple's guidelines or use things that are not 100% cocoa, or not written in X-Code. Those portions may need some rewriting to recompile properly. But the rewrite is totally irrelivant. The Intel machines have this cool little thing called Rosetta. Rosetta is a PPC G3 emulator in essence. So if the software ran on a G3 (and ran native in OS X), it will run on an Intel Mac. MS Office runs on a G3 (and native in OS X), so MS Office runs, right now, on an Intel Mac. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
