| Hi Mark, Just wondering about BMX on Mac. Now that Apple are moving their system over to intel in a space of two years, can you please put support into the compile process for triggering universal binary compiles? Thanks heaps. Tommy. |

| What the...? Sorry, I've never heard of 'universal binary compiles'... |

| something to add just a lil more spice into your osx coding life... i'm surprised that they're not extending this all the way to the chip level and making it totall universal... osx, windows, linux universal.exe - one binary that runs on any op sys... just a light abstraction layer to handle video and windowing and io that the binary would have to talk to depending on which os you happened to have... ahhhh... give em time :) --Mike |

| Thats what .NET executables are for :P |

| lol. .NET is anything but light ;) Anyway, I guess it would be more of a gcc(mingw} feature than bmax compiler. I suppose he might also have to throw in a new preprocessor directive as well though - MacIntel or something, so that byte order, etc work ok. |
