Hello there: Yes, AutoIt is really cool, but according to my experience AutoIt cannot read the Millennium client screen, which is a real drag. A body is able cut keystrokes with it but you do have to babysit the process. Now, what AutoIt does really well is interact with OCLC's Connexion client

Generally, you won't find a credible site that would allow you to upload unvetted binaries of adapted versions of low-volume software. The obvious risks are just too high. My recommendation would be a personal webpage, hosted on a site that's associated with a real-world institution, and a real-wo
