A DRA file may also be a script file created by Scriptor, a screenwriting application popular in the 1980s and 1990s. It contains text formatted into a screenplay, which includes scene, actor, and prop notations.

More Information

Scriptor is used to format text saved in a document, such as a .DOC or .DOCX file, in screenplay format. The formatting includes scene, character, prop, and shooting location organization. The formatting also includes the percentage of the screenplay a scene takes up.

After formatting a document in Scriptor, the document is converted to a DRA file. The only program that can open the DRA file is Scriptor. However, the program cannot edit the DRA file, only open it. Unfortunately, since Scriptor is no longer developed, there are many DRA script files that are essentially "locked" forever.
