With this in my LaTeX file:

\LaunchBinary{lkfs-structure.org}{Open the file Org mode file.}

I get a red boxed link in the pdf output.

When I click on it, Adobe Reader complains:

Could not find an application to open the file ' '.

I can't understand the code for LaunchBinary, but noticed "DOS" and
wondered if the code is somehow dependent on the operating system. 

I'm using a Mac.

All the best,
Tom
