Pardon my ignorance, what is a binary if it isn't universal? Bernard
Because OS X runs on PowerPC and Intel chips a program would actually need two different binaries to run on them A Universal Binary is a way, on OS X , to ship a program that can run on either kind of chip
If it's not Universal (ie/ native for the chip it's installed on) it may run in a mode where the PowerPC instructions are translated, on the fly, to Intel ones
