PURPOSE:  Show how to display real Progress Bar using ASObjC Runner app in JXA
					• Redesigned to use FUNCTIONS

VER:	2.0		DATE:  Tue, Jan 12, 2016

AUTHOR: JMichaelTX 
        Please PM me with any bugs/issues/questions
				
	  • All of the credit for this functionality goes to Shane Stanley,
		  who wrote the ASObjC Runner app, and many other incredible ASObjC apps
			and libraries
		• My only real contribution is in putting this in functions, and
		  converting to JXA

SHARED ONLINE:
	1.  AppleScript version was posted to MacScripter on Mon, May 18, 2015
		http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?pid=180778#p180778

REQUIRES:
	1.  Mac OS X Mavericks, or later
	2.  ASObjC Runner app (see free download below)
	2.  ProgressBar Functions (included below)
		1.  initProgressBar(psTitle, psMsg, piMax, piCurrent)
		2.  updateProgressBar(piCurrent, piMax)
		3.  closeProgressBar()

The free ASObjC Runner app may be downloaded from:
http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/ASObjC_Runner.zip

Previously, there was no good way to show a standard progress bar from AppleScript.  
Yosemite adds a Progress Bar to AppleScript & JXA, but it is very poor, IMO.
This ASObjC Progress Bar is much, much better.
Also, it provides a solutoin for Mavericks.

This script provides a demo of the ASObjC Runner Progress Bar.  I adapted the 
demo code from MacOSXAutomation.com to use functions, and to convert to JXA.
