As much as I like Mariner software (and I use mine frequently) I don't see how they can charge the price they do for this. Obviously they are going after the market of Final Draft, MovieMage and Dramatica - companies who very high rates for their products - but Celtyx is free and the only thing a writer really needs from these things is the formatting, which Celtyx can do. (In fact I built a screen formatting template for Word 5.1 twelve years ago, and it's easier to do now than it was then.)
Thanks for your comment. I tried to find "Celtyx" and eventually found it as Celtx. It looks interesting/pretty good, and all the better that it is free as you say. And multiplatform (OS). I'm going to check it out and compare it to the expensive screenwriting software that you mention and see how it stands up.
