Now that's interesting - I didn't realise it was a symlink.  Is there
a recommendation for the application writer to refer to one or the other?

I'm only expecting XRoar data there (or the current working directory
on Windows, as many people just run it from the unzipped directory)
because that's where other apps seemed to be putting their data.
Pretty much just monkey see, monkey do...

I expected (as it existed) that the "~/Local Settings/Application Data"
directory was as familiar to Windows users as "~/Library" to Mac users
or dot files to Unix users.

If there's some other standard location for application files that users
would more be more likely to know about, do shout and I'll add it to
the search path in future.
