DES COURTNEY  Works as advertised... As an additional bonus, you can use this tool to convert between application names, creator codes, and application paths. This should be very handy for certains kinds of shell scripts, and even within AppleScript, despite the developer's intentions.

There's no package installer, so you'll have to install the man page yourself. (The tool itself is full path addressable if you don't want to place it where your shell's $PATH can see it.)
