filsa.net: Frontier / Scripts
Welcome to Phil's Script Archive

Phil's Script Archive

The scripts here are some random, unsupported scripts that I thought would be of interest to the Frontier community.

These are scripts I use everyday. They reflect what my current interests are; at the moment this is mostly macros for web rendering/management. I hope they are generally useful, whether you use them as they are or modify them to your own tastes. Although I try to avoid this, where it makes sense the scripts build on each other, so you'll have to get more than one script for everything to work. (These cases are clearly marked.)

The scripts are (I think) well documented and the scripts themselves are full of comments. I hope my code is easy to read and understand; my goal is that you''ll be able to easily understand and modify my code for your own use, as everyone has their own way of working. Although the scripts are unsupported, I'm interested in bugs (also in the occasional pat on the back), so send bug reports and comments to phil@filsa.net.

These scripts are provided as a service of filsa.net. I'd ask that you look once at the Terms under which they are provided for your use (and which you agree to, when you download and use these scripts).

The scripts are distributed as Fat Pages. No other distribution is currently available. See www.scripting.com for more on Fat Page technology, and other scripts distributed in the fat format. http://www.scripting.com/fatPages/

So without further ado, let's get to the scripts. Here's what is available:
