Cool, thanks for that. Before I sent the previous email I did a quick
scan of the env variables and couldn't find anything that looked close,
but wanted to first tap your extended knowledge on this subject before
hard coding the "Application Data" string. Now I will hack it in with a
clear conscience. Appreciate the answer.

because it works in the greatest number of cases (it should
actually work on localized installs, though it's obviously not
preferred). When the NTFS stuff is fixed, that would be a good time to
do it correctly. An implementation of the correct method is below
(obviously stolen from glib). Without fixing the Unicode/NTFS issue,
there's no guarantee that the correct location will actually be usable
(the same goes for BibleCS's Program Files location).
