IIRC, Apprentice Alf set up a blog with explanations and links to places to download the latest version (which was usually whatever fileshare site was still working!)Īnd Apprentice Harper set up a gihub account with all the versions back to The Dark Reverser's mobipocket script in the history, giving a stable place to find the latest version.
