Hi Steve
I don´t the URL for all the scripts posted on the list, but I have a website
with NB scripts, howtos etc.
URL: http://mian.homepage.dk/
You should be aware of the scripts are developed for NB3.2/3.4 and may
require some tweaking for NB 4.5
I hope to get time to update the site soon
Regards
Michael
