Where can I download the package? It seems http://code.google.com/p/protosafe/
is no longer accessible. I got a 403 error. Any help is great
appreciated. I need the files ASAP!

Thanks.

Hi,

(A single thread is sufficient, you don't need to do multiple posts.)

The person who was maintaining Protosafe decided to stop doing so and
took down the files.

For a minified version of Prototype, you have several options, such as
jsmin from Crockford[1], Packer 3 from Edwards[2], or many others.
With Packer 3 or anything else that (optionally) rewrites parameter
names, you'll need to either not use that option or modify the code so
that it leaves the special $super parameter[3] alone.

[3] http://prototypejs.org/api/class/create

HTH,

Hi again,

More info here (if you'd already seen it, I've removed the dead link
to Protosafe):

Thanks a lot T.J. I apologize for the multiple posts. I was posting on
different groups and forgot I've posted on this.

I guess I was not clear on what I need exactly. I have to deal with
conflicts between prototype and mootools. From what I've read,
protosafe seems to be an excellent solution for that. The options
you've suggested don't address that issue, if I understand them
correctly. I'm new on prototype and JavaScript's OOP.
