A Rev-Database used from different OSes

Hello list,
I´m working with my co-workers in a mixed environment: Windows, OS9, OSX
In former times (before Rev 2.0) I built some little databases using a
splash screen as mainstack and a database in a substack.
Building the standalones for Mac OS, Windows and OSX I crossed in the
distribution-builder "Move substacks into individual files" and "Create
folder for substacks "data"".
So I got for each OS a folder with a Program (=standalone of the
(splash) main stack), say "Main_Win", "Main_OS9" and "Main_OSX" and
identical folders "Data" with the substack inside.
I then copied the three Main-Programms together with a Data-Folder in a
common folder to our shared NT-server, so all could use the database
from their OSes.
Now with > Rev 2.0 there is a problem with OSX. If you build a
standalone, the Distribution-builder builds a package with the
database-substack inside. So I can´t use my method as written above.
I think, the possibility to build a package is ok, but I would like to
have also the old arrangement with data-folder outside the package.
Do you know a solution for this problem?
Thanx in advance
Richard Hillen.
