LOL ... sure ... irresposible programmers :)
Actually it is no worse than the code I modified... it would still
return an empty string. If uname doesn't work, then a second
method could be attempted including the "system_profiler -xml" you
posted.
The problem (for me) is that I don't use XML in my applications,
and including the XML plugin increases the executable size quite a

Ahh yes ... that it would
I would actually use:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType|grep "CPU Type"
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2)
And then use InStr to determine if PowerPC is returned or something
else... and assume that anything else is an Intel processor.
or "machine"
I suppose you could use "which" to determine if the commands were
present and then use the one that was present
