That is good news. I have a test system for PPC. I had gotten the impression that later versions of Xcode could not do PPC or universal externals. However, I just realized that I can't install Mountain Lion Preview 3 on this computer. So, I'm down to one and a half choices. Dar On Apr 22, 2

That's the same as my current setup, and I can build PPC, Intel, Universal, and Windows versions all at once. Of course, I can't test the PPC one, but could you not have a simple Mountain Lion setup for development, and keep and old Mac somewhere just for testing the PPC version? On Apr 22, 20

You are correct, its a matter of daylight savings time. I believe "the date" converted to seconds turns into the seconds representing the first moment of that date IE midnight. Then there is an adjustment for daylight saving time. The easiest way around this (if you only care about the date itself
