Provide documentation please!

Where can I get the documentation for this amazing script?
The link above to Hermida's website is not working. If anyone of you have it, please let me know!

How do I snap object to surface? I have the "use surface" box ticked and I'v tried every combination that I can think of.

Why isn't there any documentation in the help menu!! :)

Please help.
