Now the user could save this anywhere they want. Now in Win I can tell
people to create a shortcut to /<some directory>/Parse/Windows/<Windows
executable> & place it in any folder they want. The 123.dat file is read
relative to the executables.

How do I do the same in Linux?
Probably the best way would be to make sure its in your path and make use of which and dirname.
execdir=$(dirname `which linuxParse`)
datadir=$execdir/..

This will only work well if you put it in your path and don't just call it directly without it in your path. A softlink might cause a problem too.
