I see, thank you James.

Yes I see 100% crashes.

Bad. Then I have problems....may be somebody have an idea.

Task is next:

* when REALbasic starts and loads plugin we have in the
    /Library/CFMSupport/Vcomponents folder with our dlls and other stuf.

    in particular this folder contains several XML files, which
    during PluginEntry() we parse and build error constants for V4RB.


* Now I want allow to RB developers build Application,
    and move all files (DLLs and rest) into Application folder,
    to have distribution as SINGLE FOLDER.

For this developer will need self assign directory where these files are.
But developer can do this only AFTER PluginEntry().

Hmm, so plugin self during PluginEntry() must try to find where are required
files....well I think this is the only solution.
