I downloaded the Mac app and had the same problem as everyone else -
it bounces in the Dock once and then goes away. Checking the Console
log, I see:

([0x0-0x302302].com..Gutenberg Reader[8747]) Exited with exit code: 1
So it is a permissions error. Mac apps are really folders, they just
don't look like it, but as such, they don't like being distributed in
their standard format. You have used zip, which usually works but in
this case, it seems to be having problems. Are you creating the zip
file on a Mac or on another system? If you have access to a Mac, I
suggest you try creating a disk image (.dmg) instead as that is the
more usual method for Mac distribution. Disk Utility can make a basic
image and Drop DMG allows more options.
I re-compiled the stack I downloaded from Rev Online and the
standalone works fine. If you like, I can send it to you in a disk
image.

Aha! Done. The Mac version of the app is now in .dmg form at:

Hope this solves the problems people have been having. Let me know!
And many thanks to all those who have been helping me test this out.
Much appreciated! This list is invaluable.
