put autopairs to work on your intel macs

Preferences Error

Then, after receiving a mail, I finally understood what to do:
- Rename the /Applications/System Preferences.app (lets say to "PPC Prefs.app") of a PPC System and make a ZIP file of it
or download a diskimage containing the PPC Prefs App from me
- Then extract the PPC Prefs App in your Application folder of the Intel System and run it
- If you have AutoPairs on your System installed (i.e. it lingers in a Library/PreferencesPanes folder), you will be able to configure AutoPairs as you like, and it works as it used to on the PowerPC Mac!
