Don't make things more complicated than they need to be...
All you need to do to determine if AtEase is running is the following but
you will have to define the value for _kAtEaseGestalt (maybe it's in the
tech note?) since FB doesn't define it...

LONG IF SYSTEM(_sysVers) > 699 AND FN GESTALT(_kAtEaseGestalt)
.
.
.
end if
