Ah fuck, I forgot to distribute the library it goes with (duh!). Please download this file and also place it in startup: http://tech-artists.org/hg/tao_official/tao_function_library/raw-file/tip/fn_strOps.ms Also redownload the autoback file. Sorry the distribution is cluttering your startup folder, this will be worked out…

BTW let me just mention, the script's been tested for a couple weeks by about half a dozen people, so other than the known issue of autoback while you're working/playing animation, it should be good. But please tell me right away if you notice anything strange- the script works completely behind the scenes so I'm always…
