1. Given the path to an arbitrary application, say
"/Applications/iCal.app", can I figure out the name the application
will use when it is executing? In that example, it will be "iCal",
but some applications don't use the same name as their file name
(e.g., "Fetch 4.0.2" runs as "Fetch").
Sorry not to be more specific, but I think that the name that you are
looking for is contained in the "Contents/Info.plist" file. Using
e.g. Fetch as a sample, I'm sure you'll find out rapidly where
exactly to find the string (CFBundleExecutable? CFBundleName?).
