DataStack in Mixed Environment

Hello list,

Working in a mixed environment of Mac- and Win-Users,  I use the 
splash-screen-method (with engine in the splash-screen) and separate 
stack as data-stack.
With distribution builder (2.1.2) I make a version for windows 
(win_splash.exe and win_data.rev in a separate datafolder) and a 
version for Mac OS9 (mac_splash.prog and mac_data.rev, also in a 
separate datafolder).

As win_data.rev and mac_data.rev is the the same, I delete one of them 
and rename it data.rev.

I put the programs win_splash.exe, mac_splash.prog and the data-folder 
with the datastack data.rev into the same folder on a server, which can 
be reached from the mac- and windows-user, so both, mac- and 
windows-users can use the data in the datastack.

But now in OSX the distribution-builder makes only 
application-packages, so my fine method doesnt work on OSX. Do you know 
of another simple solution to use the same datastack form Win, OS9 and 
OSX?

I would like a distribution-builder-optin to put also in OSX the 
datastack into a separate data-folder.


Thanx in advance!

Richard Hillen.
