Here's my experience:

Using Rev 2.7.4, I updated MetaCard per instructions and set up the  
runtime engines. I made a simple stack with only a quit button and  
built standalones for PPC and Universal. I modified the plists in  
both to name the correct executable.

The PPC version works. When I look inside the bundle, I see an  
extraneous MetaCard.app file NEXT TO, not inside, the "contents"  
folder. I delete it. The TestPPC.app still works.

The TestUB app appears briefly in the dock and disappears. There is  
an extraneous MetaCard.app in the bundle. I delete it. Still doesn't  
work. Permissions are correct.

(The extraneous MetaCard.app in the bundles appear when there is  
already a built standalone at the destination location. If I delete  
the destination .app first, the extra copy doesn't appear. However,  
my ultimate goal is to upgrade my own standalone builder which  
changes only the executable within the bundle because I store all  my  
app's files (e.g. LOTS of graphics) INSIDE the bundle. Whatever my  
motivation, I still cannot get the straight, normal MetaCard SB to  
make a viable UB standalone, much less my own refactored SB.)

I'm using a PowerPC G5, MacOS 10.4.8. I don't have an Intel Mac to  
work with.

Klaus, Jacque: Do you know what exact, specific difference there is  
between the PPC and UB build process? Or what incantation can make it  
work? I'm attempting to get my own Standalone Builder to work and  
it's... very [expletive deleted] frustrating .
