Sorry, I wouldn't really know. I joined the FD club at version 6 
because it ran in OS X. I don't think the company sells previous 
versions, so apart from ebay I don't think they are widely available. 
Before I bought FD 6, I worked with a collaborator who used FD 4 for 
his video scripts, which is how I came to be familiar with it. I don't 
notice a huge difference between 4 and 6, but then we were just writing 
in format, not taking advantage of many of the other features.

If you do a Google search for reviews of Final Draft, I've no doubt 
you'll come across some old versions and comments in the newer reviews 
of what's changed.
