RE: [Pythoncard-users] alternative resource file loading fixed, plus an example

I managed to introduce a bug last night in the code for loading the default
resource file, but I've fixed it in cvs. If you try and use the samples
launcher with release 0.6 it won't work unless you change the __init__
method from PythonCardApp (model.py)

        if aFileName == None:
            base, ext = os.path.splitext(sys.argv[0])
            aFileName = base + ".rsrc.py"

to

        if aFileName == None:
            filename = os.path.split(sys.argv[0])[-1]
            base, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
            aFileName = base + ".rsrc.py"
