Hi,

I have some products under development written in C++. I am not using Cocoa
for the most part, as these are cross-platform projects.

Review...

Also of value are

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/WhereToPutFiles.html >

and (linked from that page)

I note the OP was considering, for example, putting preferences in the Application Support directory. But there's already a place for those, and users know where to look for them. Putting your prefs elsewhere will just make users angry.
