Thank you, I figured this all out.

I will review the manual.

I have been able to get the application built universal. I separated the
target into a Cocoa/Objective-C target and a Java target building a .jar.
It works on PPC, but I haven't yet got a Intel box to test it on.
It is really unfortunate that Apple has deprecated this. Cocoa/IB is very
productive for building the interface. Using Java as the model has
significant advantages (IMHO). Can you confirm that it will NOT work on the
Intel, or that it is just unsupported? I realize that this is deprecated.
And my company plans to re-write this application in cross-platform Java,
but that's not planned till the end of this year at the earliest.
Another issue I am having is I have some tools in my installer and they are
getting the following message:
: for architecture i386 object: decode malformed object (unknown flavor for
flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 12 can't byte swap it)
Is this known behavior is there some other issue?
Thank you very much for your help,
Chas.
