  Place and orient objects along spline

Hi,

I'm trying to create sort of metal shielded cables by placing lathed shapes along a
spline.
I've been using Rune's Spline_Trans macro, which works fine, except that I want to be
able to
place objects equidistant along the spline. Is there a macro out there that will allow
me to
do this? Chris Colefax's Spline.mcr for 3.1 won't run, giving me a parse error, and I
think
that would do what I want. Has it been updated for 3.5?

Any help greatly appreciated. i don't want to have to abandon this idea and use
sphere_sweeps
for the cables.
