Recognize Intel only apps on PowerPC machines
Authored by: wgscott on Jun 21, '06 09:03:58AM

use the unix file command, eg:

file Parallels.app/Contents/MacOS/Parallels

returns this: Parallels: Mach-O executable i386

whereas

file Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

returns this:


Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc
