% I'd love to hear if or how people are using this! What do you
% think of the "warts-and-all" approach I took? I left in all the
% changes I made, and the stuff I didn't like (commented out).
%
% CHANGES NEEDED 5/16/2003:
%   Fix Margins
%   Fix Widows/Orphans
%
% Changes 5/17/2003:
%
%	Added counters for acts.
% 	Added counters for scenes.
%	Added comments and TODOs.
%
% Changes 5/18/2003:
%
%	Correctly break pages for scenes.
%	Changed \dialog to be the way I wanted.
%   ...which entailed fixing up some spacing.
%	...which entailed removing more \doublespace commands.
%	Added \paren as alias for \charsd for ScriptTeX compatibility.
%
% Changes 5/19/2003:
%
%	Added \address command for \maketitle.
%	Added \opensd command (and \open).
%	Added \quotepage.
%
% Changes 5/20/2003:
%
%	Added \castpage environment
%	Added \addcharacter command
%	Correct page numbering, &lt;Act&gt;-&lt;page&gt;
%	Removed old (commented-out) \dialog command
%	Deleted commented-out \doublespaces
%	Added \dialogue as implementation of \dialog
%	Added \AtEndDocument to print "The End" at the end of the document
%
% Changes 5/25/20003:
%
%	Still monkeying with spacing
%	Added \oneact command for one-act plays.
%
% Changes 6/5/2003:
%
%	Got spacing looking pretty good. Still not entirely happy.
%
% Changes 6/10/2003:
%
%	Reorganized \dialog command to remove the use of the 
%		changemargin environment. Requires adjustment to use of
%		\dialog in scripts, but the tradeoff is worth it,
%		because the tradeoff is...
%	PROPER CONTINUED MARKS. Added use of fancyhdr to create
%		a continued mark for interrupted dialog and a more mark
%		for interrupted stage directions.
%
% Changes 6/11/2003:
%
%	Changed \lhead to set the text at the top left corner of
%		the picture box. As it stood, it was right-aligning,
%		which threw alignment off.
%	Break problem POSSIBLY solved. Must experiment.
%
% Changes 6/12/2003:
%
%	Removed \extramarks from stage directions. Was having problem
%		with pages having extra marks where none were needed, mostly
%		when a stage direction was the last thing on the page and
%		was complete.
%	Added \copyrightnotice to separate copyright notice from the
%		address block. Use is completely optional. stage will ignore
%		its absence (unlike LaTeX and \author, for example).
%	Added \draft to indicate draft number. Also completely optional;
%		stage will ignore its absence.
%	Changed \maketitle to reflect the aforementioned new additions.
%	Added \pause.
%
% Changes 2/17/05:
%
%	Added LPPL license notice. Per C.-E. Pfeiler's suggestion,
%		I'll be uploading stage.cls to CTAN.
%
% NOTES:
%	\castpage and \quotepage definitions must come after \maketitle
%		in any documents created with this class.
%	\act MUST appear or else page numbers get whacked. This should
%		be considered a TODO bugfix. Can be fixed by using \oneact.
%	As of 6/10, we're back to \dialog{speaker}{speech}.
%
% TODO:
%	Time/setting page
%	Character s.d. spacing is not the greatest.
