BATSinit event

Installs TotalSpaces.bundle into running Spaces.app (/Applications/TotalSpaces.app is just a wrapper app for this script)

tell application "Dock"
    -- give Dock some time to launch if it wasn't running (rare case)
    delay 1 -- this delay is important to prevent random "Connection is Invalid -609" AppleScript errors 
    try
        «event BATSinit»
    on error msg number num
        display dialog "Unable to launch TotalSpaces." & msg & " (" & (num as text) & ")"
    end try
end tell

BATSchck event

Check if TotalSpaces is present in running Dock image.

tell application "Dock"
    -- give Spaces some time to launch if it wasn't running (rare case)
    delay 1 -- this delay is important to prevent random "Connection is Invalid -609" AppleScript errors 
    try
        «event BATSchck»
        set res to "present"
    on error msg number num
        set res to "not present"
