Setting Document Associations With OS X (was Re: Help with setRegistry?)

[Ken Ray]

Troy,

You're right. The problem you're running into is that the latest release
version of Revolution is 1.1.1 which creates Carbon apps, but they are not
Mach-O compatible, so you don't get any Package Contents. I was working with
a prerelease edition of the next version of Revolution which uses the latest
MetaCard 2.4.3 engine which *is* Mach-O compatible, so I used MC 2.4.3 to
build my standalone (which worked following the instructions I provided).

(Sorry about that.)

I'll see if there's something that can be done in the interim...

(BTW: You don't happen to have access to a release copy of MetaCard, do you?
You might be able to build an executable using the MC engine for right now
until the next version of Rev is released...)
