Introduction
Welcome to the KD Screenwriting System, the complete solution for the creation, formatting and printing of screenplays with Nisus wordprocessors.
The main part of the System consists of the Screenwriting Template, Screenwriting Macros, and Screenwriting Glossary.
The Screenwriting Template is compatible with all versions of the Nisus family of wordprocessors, while the Macros and the Glossary work with any version of Nisus/Nisus Writer 3 or greater.
For users of Nisus Writer 5.1 there are further utility macros and the amended Nisus Floating Tool Bars Tool which contains the Screenwriting Tools floating palette. To make the most of KDSS and the superior editing environment in the application, users are encouraged to use Nisus Writer 5.1 or greater.
General usage instructions for KDSS are provided in the Manual file, while items compatible only with Nisus Writer 5.1 are documented in the Read Me file accompanying them. Users of previous versions of KDSS should read the Version History file for details of changes.
Shareware/Legal Information
The KD Screenwriting System is copyright Karl Dolenc, all rights reserved. Distribution of the package is restricted and is subject to conditions set out in the accompanying License.
You may evaluate the package for 31 days free of charge. If you continue to use it, you must pay a small license fee for the privilege. The software is fully functional, but some macros generate reminder dialogs and printouts end with a registration notice.
There are two types of license:
Single User - $20
For private individuals using KDSS on a single computer at home.
Site - $140
For organizations using KDSS on any number of computers, within an area of one hundred miles (160 kilometers) in radius.
How can I pay?
Payment is handled by Kagi, a safe and reliable payment service for shareware authors. You can pay by cash, check, credit card, invoice, or First Virtual. Avoid First Virtual because they delay payment to Kagi by 91 days. If paying by check, the check must be in US dollars, drawn on a US bank. For most customers outside the US this is not an option, but they can pay by credit card, or by cash in one of 33 currencies.
You can transfer your payment to Kagi by telephone, fax, email, or post, depending on your payment method. Avoid paying over the phone, because this incurs an additional processing charge. Use email, fax, or post.
Whatever your payment method, use the Register program that is bundled with KDSS to fill out the payment form.
The Register program is designed to make the payment process as foolproof as possible. You should have no trouble using it and can turn on Balloon Help for assistance. As you choose your payment options, follow the instructions the program displays.
When you have completed the Register form on screen, click the Print or Copy button. (Print for posting or faxing, Copy for emailing.) Register will output the form to the printer or clipboard. This will include Kagi contact details and clear instructions on how to proceed with your payment.
Alternatively, you can register online at <http://order.kagi.com/?QGD>.

What happens after I paid?
Kagi will email you a receipt for your payment within a few days after they receive it (often within a day). If you ask for a printed receipt by post, this will take longer. Kagi will also forward your contact details to me, the software author, and I will email you a registered version within 7 days (usually within 2 days). Registered users are entitled to free upgrades—I will keep you posted.
