An Elegant Solution for Paths

I have a application that requires support files to be in a specific
location on the users PC. Is it possible to have the application point to
different locations on my development machine while I'm working, but replace
them with the alternate paths when I compile?

Best regards,
Dale

yes, use precompile commands. I use them all the time.
