OS X Standalone Prog Folder Problem?

[Peter Reid]

Hmmm.  Thanks for the thought, but why does it WORK inside the 
development environment under OS X?  I would have thought that it 
would fail BOTH as a standalone AND in the development environment 
under OS X??  My folder structure is:

    Standalone App
    support folder
       support files

I've used this approach for ages, including with projects using 
earlier versions (v1.1.1) of RunRev under OS X, and not had this 
problem before.  It seems as though something has changed or there is 
a bug?!
