The others here have offered good suggestions for suck-up-and-spit-out
solutions to solve the problem for now. but looking ahead:
One of the things I liked about SuperCard was that Bill Appleton had
written his own resource fork into his data file format. This allowed
SC to store any number of data and even code (XCMDs and DFCNs) within
the data fork, without relying on the Mac's old file system resource fork.
I really really really prefer to deliver truly stand-alone standalones
whenever practical, but with more and more new features being
implemented in bundled externals the number of apps I can do this for is
shrinking with each release.
Would it be worth considering some means of being able to store
externals directly in the stack file?
What magic is dependent on having an external be a separate file on disk?
Couldn't the entry point for that code be found at least as easily (and
perhaps slightly more efficiently) if stored within the stack file?
