Scripts
The scripts that have been recently updated are available at the following address: www.antp.be/temp/scripts. I update the installation package only when there are several scripts that have been updated, or when an important site changes (like IMDB or Allociné for example). So if a script does not work anymore, it may already been updated on this page but not yet officially included with the program. The brand new scripts are also available there some time before being included with the program.
