\b0 MetroSuction is a robust front-end to the lipo utility. It allows you to easily examine and remove support for different hardware architectures in Multi-Architecure Binary files (so-called 'fat binaries'). It easily handles folders of applications and multiple binary files per application. Oddly enough it's also free. It's officially unsupported, but we will make every attempt to provide timely updates to the FTP archives.\
\b Why MetroSuction?\
\b0 We felt there was a need for a high-quality NEXTSTEP utility for manipulating fat binaries. Many people won't be able to take advantage of removing support for an architecture during program installation due to a bug in the NEXTSTEP Installer utilitiy that occurs when creating multi-disk installation packages. And even when that problem is resolved, it'll be nice to have an easy-to-use utility for dealing with fat binaries. We felt it should be free for the NEXTSTEP community. We hope you like the quality of the utility and find it useful. Please let us know via e-mail if you do.\

\b\fs24 Can I give away copies?\
\b0 Please do! You have the right to distribute as many free copies as you wish as long as all parts of MetroSuction remain intact and unmodified.\
\fs20 \
\b\fs24 What about source code?\
\b0 Full source code to the MetroTools version of this utility (which is remarkably similar to this stand-alone version) is available free as part of the MetroTools 2.1 API package.\

\fs24 Enjoy!\
