Parallels mystery

It's valid for Rev:  You can access a shared folder in Parallels and 
read and write files, load libraries, pretty much anything you can do 
with that folder as a mapped drive, and Rev handles it all like a champ.

It's only QT that's broken.  But hey, Apple makes a competing product to 
Parallels, so maybe it's no an accident. ;)

We don't have any customers using our product under Parallels, and for 
my own testing it's just as easy to open the mapped volume as it is to 
open the shared folder (which I suppose raises the question about why 
Parallels bothers with their odd scheme), so at this point it's just a 
curiosity.

If nothing else it's nice to see that Rev can handle a greater variety 
of file paths than even Apple can.
