Honestly, this little snippet really counts as "esoteric code." There aren't that many instances in Mac OS X programming where you actually need to know the owner of a process - I had to get it to know whether I should continue trying to send an AppleEvent to another process, or whether to just give up because I didn't have permission to talk to that process in the first place. I'll try and post some more after the "release rush" is done for DFX. - Jon Glad I could help G!

I'm just starting to code for the first time. I love finding little gems like this. Please post more about the process of creating an app like DF. Thanks.
