Help! 'Package for Print' Script

Hi Parham

I'm sorry I'm too busy to do this one for free now.  If you want  me to fix it up you can sent me a mail to trevor at creative-scripts dot com for a quote.

I'll post your original script in a formatted form to make it easier for other people to look at it.

Regards

Trevor

//Package the active document and setup the dockets folder structure.
//The active document shouldn't have been saved (has no name), so provide a name
//taken from the first and only link.  After creating the dockets folder structure,
//close and delete the original file and open the file in the docket's originals
