That rules out a database, where in addition to at least one data file 
(possibly multiple files, depending on the DB engine used) you'd also 
need to make sure the externals files to drive the DB are included.

It's a long standing convention of both UNIX/Linux and Win OSes that 
executables cannot write to themselves, and for consistency Rev enforces 
this on the Mac as well.

So any writable data will mean at least a second file, and I know of now 
way around that.

But fortunately Sarah Reichelt has made this easy with her article at 
revJournal on saving data from standalones:
