#599 Spaces in path names make applescript fail
I just installed Bochs 2.0.1 on my iMac rev. B running OS 10.2.3.
My hard disk has a space in the name (iMac HD). When I run the
bochs.scpt, Terminal gives me a "Too many arguments error." So I
hard coded the path to my Bochs directory into the applescript. I
used "/Volumes/iMac\ HD/..." instead of "/Volumes/iMac HD/...".
In fact, since applescript considers "\" an escape character when
used in a string, I had to use "/Volumes/iMac\ HD/..." After a little
tweaking I got the script to run and Bochs launched. However, the
configuration menu still reports the BXSHARE path as
"/Volumes/iMac HD/..." I'm guessing that I'll still have trouble with
that space in the path. When I try to launch the Bochs GUI, it just
quits right away. I haven't configured the HD image yet, however. It
still points to some ATA address and IRQ.
So my bug is that the applescript doesn't handle spaces in path
names, and my question is "Will I have trouble with the space in
my BXSHARE path?"

I think this is an outdated bug report. If there are still issues you should report then at the Bochs project page on Github.
