Convert a straight line to a chain?

[Morne]

Yes it's easy to model, just lazy. Is there a script floating around somewhere to easily create chains?

[super gnu]

lo i think it would take longer to download and run a script than it would to model the chain. using pathdeform to fit it to a spline is a good trick too.

railclone lite maybe?

not sure if it´s exactly what you are looking for, but worth a try.

Itoo soft clone can do it - straight ones anyway.
