I have a directory structure like this:

bin/appname - this is the binary
share/appname/ - this is a directory for document and configuration templates and other readonly resources

I have a lot of document and configuration templates and the application wants to READ them. I don't want to compile them into the app because they are extensible by installing additional packages.
I can write into the documentation, that resources have to be in e.g. /usr/local/share/appname/ directory, but it is not very admin friendly. It is much better to get these resources with the next algorithm:
GetFileFolder(GetExeFilePath()) + "/../share/" + appname + "/something.resource"

Now I understand your problem Very Happy

Very Happy

and I vote for including to search via proc first and if it is not available in argv[0] and PATH.
