Metacard menu?

[Ken Ray]

Shari,

You could write the code in the startup handler of your app that would
change the value in the Info.pList file, but that would only "take" for
subsequent launches; the first time, the user would see "MetaCard".

The other way is to ship your standalone to someone with OS X and let them
fix it for you (until you get a copy of OS X of your own).
