That's good if you want to know about your own process but what I was looking 
for was to check another process. Since I had to support 10.5, 
NSRunningApplication was out of question. So, I ended up using some AppleScript 
built programmatically: "tell application \"System Events\" to get (file of 
every process whose name is \"<name of process here\") as text". I was able to 
use the result. Kinda odd to use AppleScript for that but that was the quickest 
way I found.

Thanks for all other messages and considerations.
