OS X Standalone Prog Folder Problem?

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Mac OS X application bundles.

Control click on your OS X stabdalone + select "Package Contents" 
reveals a folder, "Contents"

Inside "Contents" are:
	Info.plist
	pbdevelopment.plist
	Pkginfo
	A folder, "Resources", containing--
		Revolution.rsrc
		RevolutionDoc.icns
		Revolution.icons
	A folder, "Mac OS", containing--
		Revolution [your standalone]

So if your standalone on other platforms expects to find the support 
folder in the same folder in which the standalone resides, your 
folder must be in the Mac OS folder on OS X.

I deal with this by using a generalized search handler that looks for 
support folders in both locations...among others.
