Hi Steve,

If the Universal version will work both on Intel Mac
computers as well as non-Intel Mac OS X computers, what would be the advantage of including the "Power PC only" or "Intel only" versions when distributing one's application, since the Universal version would seem to work on both kinds
of computers?

One reason might be filesize. Universal apps are twice as big. The other is, running universal apps requires Os X.3.9 or higher, so if you want to support X.2 or smaller you need a power PC only compile. I am happy to have all options, as "Universal Binary" is the buzzword du jour when releasing new Mac apps at the moment. Many people over here think, if it is no universal binary, it is not a good app. Therefore Intel only is out of the game for me for a while, but might be reasonable if I want to release an app. that is very resource hungry and requires a modern computer to work reliably.

My 2 € cent,

Malte
