Hi Eloy:

Yes, it worked!

Seems like Apple should have better support for alias files in OS X. I see 
methods in NSFileWrapper to resolve a symlink but not to resolve an alias file. 
Apple suggests a more complicated procedure to resolve an alias file. I don't 
mind using terminal to create the install package but I want to allow users to 
create alias files in my application support directories.

Thanks, Bob Rice
