SSH Tunnel Manager 2 universal binary

I've been using the marvellous (and free) ssh tunnel manager 2 for, well, a long time anyway. But I went through a stage of wondering why it was so slow, starting up in particular, and then I noticed that the distributed binary was PPC only - hence Rosetta - hence chug chug chug. This finally got to me this morning and I had a quick look around the opposition, none of which appeared to actually work (I uses certificates and not passwords to connect to my important servers) and just as I was resigning myself to having to run some PPC code ... laaa! the damn thing's open source ... I had no idea.

So five minutes later we now have a Universal binary for SSH Tunnel Manager you can download or, for the search engines out there how about SSH Tunnel Manager Intel Mac. There. How's that?

Oh! And Fugu! Hang on....

Wondering why this includes the ppc ssh binary though? Shouldn't it just use the /usr/bin/ssh whenever possible? Was easy enough to yank the ppc version out of resources though and replace with the OSX shipped binary. It was bugging me that the Manager was indeed running as Intel, but ssh itself was still ppc.

I had no idea. Will fix when I get around to it. Or, if you can fix it, leave a comment here as to where I can download the properly fixed one and I'll edit the original post.

All I did was replace the ssh binary in the Repository folder with the one from /usr/bin.

eg:
CODE:
r-travisd-mbp:Resources travisd$ pwd
/Applications/MyApps/SSH Tunnel Manager.app/Contents/Resources

r-travisd-mbp:Resources travisd$ cp /usr/bin/ssh .


Thanks for recompiling SSHTm though - it's been the last PPC code I've had to deal with - very nice to get it all Intel!!

That worked perfectly, thank you.

No StuffIt, no Rosetta. This should show up first in search engines. Thanks for taking the time to release it.
