The easiest way to use it is to stick it in the Dock and then drag stuff onto it.

FWIW, it should also be possible to emulate that with something like (one line - watch for wraps):


-----------------
tell application "Finder" to open (choose file without invisibles) using path to application "BOMArchiveHelper"
-----------------


Or (also one line):

-----------------
do shell script POSIX path of (path to "csrv") & "BOMArchiveHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/BOMArchiveHelper " & quoted form of POSIX path of (choose file without invisibles)
-----------------


However, BOMArchiveHelper does seem to be intended more as an aid for manual archiving (in spite of lacking a GUI). In terms of scripting, I'd probably go for ditto, too.
