I've heard of First Draft and Sophocles (that spelled right?), but I was wandering what's better. Also, where could I find them and about how much do they usually cos?

Sophocles is freeware but I think only partially enabled unless you purchase the full version which I believe is $119?  It's been awhile since I checked.  Didn't like it too much, but check it out for yourself, see what you think.

Not familiar with First Draft.  Final Draft 6 I think is roughly around the same price.  $139 or so?  I like Final Draft quite a bit and it's pretty much an industry standard software.

NOTE TO SOPHOCLES PEOPLE:  Hi.  My name is Alan Holman, and I use an illegal copy of the full version of your program; I found it somewhere on the net that I can not recall exactly where I found it.  I love your program SOPHOCLES very much, and it has helped me to become the writer I am today.  The second one of my scripts gets purchased for over five-hundred dollars, I will gladly pay you two hundred dollars for the copy of SOPHOCLES which I use currently.

Same here. I have the full working version of SOPHOCLES and it's fantastic. Only problem is, I'm sitting on a wealth of incredible screenplays I have wrote using it... and I can't upload any of them to this sight.

Anyway, trust me SOPHOCLES is the best... hands down. It just is. Simple, easy, clean, laid out and a breeze to use.

Have any of you tried, "Save As" and saving the script in another format?

Never thought of that :/

I'll try it though... I noticed COFFIN CANYON was a little jumbled in places do to the HTML format.

No big deal, cause I wanna put up the final draft this weekend and maybe send in a few others with it.

Thanks for the heads up..

I use Movie Magic Screenwriter too and it is sooo easy to use. I think people should check it out if they haven't done so already.
Have a look at the URL for more info.

I use Sophocles. I managed to buy it when it was on special for $60. I don't have a problem uploading from it. I just use print preview and export it as a html, rtf or pdf file. It rocks. I haven't really tried the others, mainly because they are out of my price range (I live in a country where the dollar is seven times my own currency - I ain't that rich *grin*)
