-LaTeX .cls file to provide formatting as recommended by the Academy of Motion
-Picture Arts and Sciences. For more information, see
-http://dvc.org.uk/sacrific.txt/
+This is a LaTeX .cls file to provide formatting as recommended by the
+Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
+
+Potential users need to read the information from the Academy, and
+a few example scripts, and draw their own conclusions. The current
+version of `screenplay.cls' (v 1.417 at time of writing) seems to me to be
+`good enough' to produce a fair copy for the Nicholl Fellowships
+Competition - if you do your part - which was the point of it (weeks ago
+when I started!). Whether ScriptTeX would, in fact, be a better solution
+if I managed to get my head around it is another question. It looks to
+me, however, that installing ScriptTeX and modifying it will be more work
+than using `screenplay.cls.' As a more generalised solution ScriptTeX
+may be better though (but then again, is that the UNIX way?).

+% TeX allows quite a lot of leeway in whitespace, so I've messed this
+% up a bit. I find keeping the format structured helps me a lot tho.
+% Note: but don't have blank lines *inside* the body of text in
+% a dialogue environment.
+% I use vi (Elvis) with macros to make a lot of typing disappear.
+%
+%
+% Anyhoo, on with the show ...

+\intslug{Atlantis -- somewhere ANyway}
+
+John and Mark are at adjacent consoles. Fred is with them. Tom
+is at another console slightly further away.
+
+\begin{dialogue}{John}
+The planetoid seems to have a thin crust
+covering a nickel-iron core. Could have
+been an Earth-like planet at one time.
+\end{dialogue}

+\begin{dialogue}{Mark}
+We're coming up on the radio source now.

+\begin{dialogue}{John}
+Are we?
+\end{dialogue}

+\begin{dialogue}{Mark}
+Yes.

+
+He has a PARROT on his shoulder.

+\begin{dialogue}{Fred}
+Switch the visual to main screen so we
+can get a good look.\end{dialogue}
+
+They look up at the main screen.

+\begin{dialogue}[to John and Mark]{Fred}
+Lock on to that. Give me a Scanalysis.
+\dialbreak[to Tom]{Fred}
+Establish planetary orbit, stationary

+\begin{dialogue}{Mark}
+It seems to be solid with a high
+metallic content and be the source of
+the radio energy.
+\end{dialogue}

+\begin{dialogue}{John}
+The gravity map shows there's some kind
+of cavern directly beneath it.
+\end{dialogue}
+
+\begin{dialogue}{Fred}
+Get me the fullest details you can.
+Survey that cavern and see what you can
+make of it. Looks like this is what we
+came all the way to see.
+\end{dialogue}

+\begin{dialogue}{Brown}
+You'd better prep the Galileo for a
+planet-fall. Looks like we've got some
+digging to do. Unless Bliar objects
+that is.
+\end{dialogue}

+\begin{dialogue}{Fred}I didn't come all this way to see the

+Perhaps when you've done some digging

+Or maybe more questions.

+\intslug{Atlantis -- SHIP'S HOLD}

+The Hold is large, has various piles of crates and

+stored in it. Near the door is a large coffin-shaped packing
+crate standing on its end.

+\intextslug[day]{in or out}
+Apparently some people do this.

+\extintslug[night]{out or in}
+Or even this.

+\extslug[day or nite]{NO WARRANTY -- EXPRESS OR IMPLIED}
+
+\pov I made the slugline DAY/NIGHT optional 'cause in space no-one can
+tell the time. You probably will need to specify.
+
+\nb Don't put in pagebreaks by hand until you're really, really
+finished editing!
+
+It isn't the done thing to hyphenate for formatting purposes.
+
+Use the source, Luke.
