No more MacBS2 ?

MacBS2 hasn't been updated in quite awhile so I'm not sure if it is still being updated, but as a heads up to the Mac heads out there, OSX Lion will not support PowerPC applications - which is what MacBS2 is.

So I guess its back to Virtual PC for us?

Bummer.

    That will be a good reason not to upgrade past OS 10.6 snow leopard. I'm used to lagging behind, though.

    Still pining for the loss of hypercard.

    I installed the Beta version of Lion on a spare computer and I'm not impressed. It's great and everything, but whats the big deal?

    But, if I have to bring up a virtual Windows session every time I need to program a BS2, then I'm done with Stamps.

    I would be done with MAC. If they can't write an OS thats backward compatible with their older OS.
    If it ant a phone, they could care less anyway.

    It's hard to tell without further information, but the tokenizer may need to be recompiled as a Universal Binary with both PowerPC and Intel object code. I don't know when the tokenizer was last updated, but it's been a long time. Murat should be able to just recompile his code to Universal Binary form, but the tokenizer needs to be in the same form.
