There's a long standing bug where creator type of every process will return
a list {<<class apsw>>, <<class aPul>>, etc} on many systems.

so ...'every process as string' or to get the list of code strings...

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
tell application "Finder"
set procCodesto ((every process)'s creator type as text)'s every text
item
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
