AW: The Art of Dissolving Splash Screens

[Luis]

Hiya,

There's no real ability for the HD to have folders, they are just an  
OS construct. Folders are files which point to where the files  
'inside' the folder are.
In a Mac app, the .app extension (if set to visible) just tells the  
OS that 'in there' lies an executable.

Cheers,

Luis.
