That's fascinating—you're doing it right. If you actually named it  
"myAppName_134", then it might be complaining because there's no  
extension. But I assume you added an extension. Send me your appcast  
and a sample program?

Yeah, that's not going to work even a little bit. :D

No. In fact, there have been more bugs than I thought there would be  
in 1.5b1. All but one of them are fixed but, you know, wait a bit.
