Thanks Byron, I am not a programer and am glad to hear it will be or
should be fairly simple. Anything that might involve typing and
accuracy I tend to think as being hard.
Maybe the long timeline has to do with hardware?

Having actually done a port in my day job, porting a large and
complex body of software, if properly engineered, to a different

The slow launch time of Photoshop is attributable to invoking the
Rosetta translation overhead.
Given that Adobe offers Photoshop on Intel already, the difficult
part of porting over filters to take advantage of vectorization
opportunities on Intel has already been done.
Everyone is vastly overstating the difficulty of porting
applications to a different architecture.

FAT or Universal binaries must be made for all apps and only
simple Coca apps will be a "simple Tweak". The large and complex

bet that even Apples apps are in need of some speed work on Intel.
