Will work in 2.0. The problem was that externals were tied to resources
in the resource fork , which could not be loaded reliably in windowless
mode, now they are compiled as bundles (separate files like DLLs). Yes
we're listening.

>1) There is no 'Darwin' version of Valentina.
It's called VXCMD-Macho. Version 2.0 of Rev will also be a Mach-O (or Mac
OSX native executable). I've been working with the folks at Paradigmasoft
on this.

Version 2.0 will support ODBC (iODBC) and Valentina under Darwin.
