Go to https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/tree/v2.99 Click the get_iplayer link in the list. That will open the page with the .pl file on it and you can copy and save the text as 'get_iplayer.pl'. Then click the get_iplayer.cgi link and do the same, naming that 'get_iplayer.cgi'. Job done. (The 'get_iplayer.1' file is the manual page for certain Linux distributions so doesn't apply to Windows.) -- Regards John _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
