New issue 1253 by Graham.P... at gmail.com: TickCount does not have a 64 bit  
equivalent on osx
http://code.google.com/p/fofix/issues/detail?id=1253

Describe the problem. What did you expect? What do you see?
I've almost got the 4.0a1 running on osx, the build completes successfully  
but when I run the application I get the error "AttributeError: 'module'  
object has no attribute 'TickCount' " (full dump below)

List the steps to recreate the problem.
1.  Python 2.6 from Macports
2.  Snow Leopard
3.  64bit machine.
4.  Successfully build using sudo python setup.py py2app build_ext after a  
few patches to setup.py
5.  Run the app in ../dist/
6.  FoFix errors offering to terminate or open Console.app
7.  Observe errors:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/grahamheath/fofix-4.0.0alpha1/dist/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py",  
line  
103, in <module>
      _argv_emulation()
     
File "/Users/grahamheath/fofix-4.0.0alpha1/dist/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py",  
line 101, in _argv_emulation
      _get_argvemulator().mainloop()
     
File "/Users/grahamheath/fofix-4.0.0alpha1/dist/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py",  
line 40, in mainloop
      stoptime = Evt.TickCount() + timeout
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'TickCount' FoFiX[15409]:  
FoFiX Error

A quick googling will reveal this as an issue in Carbon.Evt, as it does not  
support 64bit(yet).
