Mark Open Curve End and Inset Point along Curve?

 From:  OSTexo

Hello,

Is there a mark open curve end script like there is a mark open curve start script?

Also, is there a script that will place a single point at a specified distance from the end of a curve, and optionally place points at varying distances from previous points? The effect I'm looking for is a line that skips and fades out.

Thanks.
