gScript version 2.9
April 5, 1993

A Word for Windows template for the entering, editing, and formatting of
feature screenplays.

If you write feature screenplays and own Word for Windows you need
gScript.  It is an incredibly full-featured mini-application that
turns Word for Windows into a virtually custom word processor tailored
to the creation and formatting of film scripts.

Features include:

Smart Styles    Enter a stream of dialogue simply by pressing enter
                between paragraphs (nor formatting keys).
Smart Tab       Move from style to style with the Tab key.
Smart Enter     Expand a character name abbreviation and move
                to dialogue with a single keystroke.
Script specific glossaries
Ability to create project specific copies of GSCRIPT.DOT
SideBySideDialogue
Three methods to format your screenplay:  Draft (no break strings),
                Master (break dialogue), and Shooting (break action 
                and dialogue).
StripFormatting - a formatted script can easily be stripped of any
                extra formatting strings inserted by the FormatScript
                macro.
Automatic scene numbering, left, right, or both.
Custom toolbar with icons for revision markings, paragraph styles, and
                various utilities.
SpeedKeys       Alt+A=Action, Alt+D=Dialogue, Alt+C=Character name etc etc

And much (much!) more.  See GSFDEMO.DOC for an automated demonstration of
gScript and for registration information.

This self-extracting EXE file contains the five essential gScript files:
         (file)                   (destination)
        GSCRIPT.DOT     -       Template directory
        GSCRIPT.HLP     -       Windows directory
        GSCRIPT.INI     -       Windows directory
        GSFDOC.DOC      -       Any directory
        GSFDEMO.DOC     -       Any directory
And the following optional information/utility files:
        README.TXT      -       This file
        GSCRIPT.DES     -       A suggested description for BBSes
        INSTALL.BAT     -       A DOS batch file to automate the
                                installation process
You can copy the five gScript files manually to the above specified
directories, or You can use INSTALL.BAT with the following syntax:

        INSTALL <dot-path> <win-dir>

Updating from previous versions of gScript.

        1) You should rename your existing GSCRIPT.DOT to another
           name.  This will allow you to retrieve any glossaries
           stored in that template.
           
        2) Version 2.0 of gScript stored it's help file, GSCRIPT.HLP
           in your Word for Windows directory.  Version 2.9 places
           GSCRIPT.HLP in your Windows directory.  This could cause
           a conflict.  I suggest removing the older GSCRIPT.HLP.

Uploading to other services.

gScript is distributed via modem to various publicly available on-line
services.  You are free to distribute to your favorite BBS, but please
use the following naming conventions.

GSCRPT.EXE   -- The file as distributed to CIS (which only allows 6 chars
                in a filename).  This is a self-extracting EXE file.
                
GSCRPT29.ZIP -- The file name used for PCBoard and other services that do
                not allow EXE uploads.  This ZIP file should contain the
                original self-extracting EXE file.

Do not repack the individual files into ZIPs under other names.  Please.
If you have the EXE format, please create a GSCRPT29.ZIP containing only
that EXE. 

gScript is distributed as ShareWare.  If you continue to use it after 
a reasonable evaluation period, please register:
