This tool will change the color of bones based on their squash/stretch amount, providing the user with feedback if they have gone beyond a desired threshold. It will live update as you move around and animate in the viewport.
A co-worker asked if I could help him get a little script going to give feedback on how much bones were stretching in his rig.
Things got a bit out of hand and boneStretch is the result. 
Setup/Usage:
• Download & Unzip to MAXROOT\Scripts\Startup\ **MUST INSTALL HERE**
• In Max: Utilities Panel > MAXScript > Select "boneStretch" from the 'Utilities' drop down
