Seems you've found a typo here
ops:
I've corrected this and reposted the page.
To answer the question about scripts versus plugins:
Scripts are anything written entirely in Tcl/Tk (these are the .tcl files). Basically, this is text-based code that ac3d can use on any platform. You could open one of these files in a text editor, and there's your source code for the script.
Plugins require a compiled program (the .p file), and normally perform operations outside the scope of what's possible in ac3d + tcl. Plugins are specific to platforms (Windows/Mac/Linux), so it's nice to use scripts where we can to alleviate having to compile a different version for each platform.
AC3D treats the .tcl files for plugins a bit differently than it treats the .tcl files for scripts, so that's why they're in separate directories.
Good to hear you're getting use out of these plugins - always glad to help out!
