That one's not Rev, it's Apple:  With OS X Apple has decided to lie to 
the user, in the sense that they use a folder ("bundle") for what used 
to be a single executable file.

Given the convenience of being able to store libraries and such in the 
bundle I don't mind, but it was a hassle until I started using this 
AppPath function:

With that function I can refer to files relative to the mainstack of my 
app regardless of whether it's a standalone or a stack file, or whether 
it's a standalone on Win, Linux, or OS X.
