I thought of a couple of those. I didn't think of a free table which I think would work best for what I want. It's probably time to call it a day if I can't even think of that!!! Thanks Sergey!

>>I have an app that sits in one directory for testing, then upon approval by the customer, gets moved to the working directory. The problem is there are settings that are different based upon which directory the app is sitting, and I'd like to get away from changing settings and recompiling the app for the working directory. I want to be able to just move the files to the other dir as is.
