[Offer] ScriptThing 1.23 screenwriting application


This is one of the earlier screenwriting software for MS-DOS, this one however, was capable of full production mode features such as locking pages/scenes. It's a bit funky to do in DOSBox, you have to have the disk image mount in drive A to pass a screen. This only happens in DOSBox, in native MS-DOS, it works perfectly fine.



The version is 1.23p, it can print reports on characters in each scene or all the dialogue for a specific character. It can also save the entire screenplay to a file or to the printer. For those of you without a DOS machine available, 86box can use a virtual printer to let you export from the VM to host. The manual wasn't put online, but that's okay, because the verbose help information in the program itself counts as the manual.

I hope in the future, the paper manual is put online and one of the newer versions (2.20) is put online as well.

As an early form of copyright protection, you can only install it 3 times before it won't let you anymore. This isn't an issue if you're using a VM or DOSBox where you can just re-download the floppy image and then install. But I wanted to give a bit of a heads up for those who like to use physical floppy disks.
