You might want to make your app behave differently when running Gremlins. Take at
looks at the file HostControl.h that's distributed with Poser. You can #include this
file and use the API's defined in it to do stuff like this.
HostID HostGetHostID(void);
HostBool HostGremlinIsRunning(void);
You can't uses these API's safely until you know you're running on Poser (or the Mac
simulator). Kind of a Catch-22. To find out if you're running on Poser, check for the
'pose' feature.
An easier alternative is to make your debug target behave differently. This may be
annoying during testing though.
