Apparently over the years my project file had become corrupt (at least 
that
is the theory).

So... I spent the morning trying to recreate the project.

I started with a new project and started to add all of the source 
files from the
old project. I also copied the nib files...trying to recreate the nibs 
would have
been a disaster.

After a bit of trial and error ( I had some redundant files in the 
project and
had to figure out which were the current rascals) the project finally 
was
able to build.

I was able to create a Universal Binary that runs on my intel box 
running Leopard and
my wife's ppc box that is running the latest version of Panther.

Whew!
