hmmm. what's the difference between these two compiler options/platforms....Both seem to work on my Macbook. Is one the old PowerPC plaform? Which is best to use?

Yeah as far as I know, osx_uni is "universal binary." If you want it optimized for intel mac and newer Mac OS's, go for X86.

Compile for both. Also lion not supporting universal code me think....

OS-X Uni is redundant I think,
as apps created in GLBasic only run on OS X 10.6 and above,
which isn't PowerPC compatible.

I have an old PowerPC collecting dust that I'm not going to start up just to test this but I think this is right.
