- during IDE development the .bundle or .dll files have to be in the 
Revolution folder (or in the defaultFolder)

- in a standalone the .bundle or .dll files have to be in the app's 
folder. (or in the defaultFolder) BTW there is also a way to hide the 
.bundle into the app bundle on Mac OS X.

- If you are only working on OS X, then you can safely leave off the 
revzeroconf.dll

- It's OK to specify both the bundle and dll but I think there is a bug 
in the engine on OS X that it won't see the Mac bundle unless you 
specify it last! ie

set the externals of stack "cool" to "revzeroconf.dll" & return & 
"revzeroconf.bundle"

which is what I did for the Zeroconf Workbench stack.

Hope this helps,
