I would download it and check it out, although the java one works fine for me now.

One question: why do you have to give the turn number with the 's' command? Won't it just save the current turn no matter what? Is it that there no easy way for the script to know what the current turn is?

Good question. The truth is I don't know for sure.
The turn # is probably stored in the .2h/.trn file.
If it is stored there then it can be extracted otherwise I'm not sure there's an easy way to know the turn #.
The script could work like a deamon, in the background checking if the turn files are updated and then save them to the correct turn.
only problem is how to know what is the correct turn.
