Thank you for this tip -- 'filebyproc.d' is a new one to me. One  
learns something everyday. Could be really useful, as you say, to find  
out who's doing what to whom.

I am still bothered about putting a 'Prefer-32-bit plist' on someone  
else's computer (via the installer) just for the sake of  
Mac::Processes. What if the owner prefers 64 bit...?
