===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
ABOUT THE PROGRAM: "Word Search Puzzle Maker" v2.6 is a product of
Impact D. Publishing. WSPM is shareware and this evaluation version
includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any
way. You may use it for up to 30 days without charge. If you like
the program and wish to continue to use it after this evaluation
period, you are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.TXT
for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk
vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee
for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment
for continued use of the program.
This exciting program allows you to create many different variations
of the popular word search puzzle for print out. With WSPM you can
create and save your own word lists, control the directions words
appear in the puzzle grid, and change the way words are listed in the
word list section of the puzzle. WSPM also comes with a powerful
editor that allows you to customize your creations to meet many needs.
This editor is so powerful that you can create and save shaped puzzle
grids. Then use them repeatedly to create puzzles with real visual
appeal. WSPM comes with word lists and shaped grids ready to use so
that you can begin creating hundreds of puzzles almost immediately!
TEACHERS AND PARENTS:
WSPM (Word Search Puzzle Maker) is used by teachers of almost all
age groups all over the United States and Canada. The documentation
comes with instructions telling how you can use this program to
create teaching tools, learning activities, as well as party games,
group activities, object lessons, and more.
NEWSLETTER AUTHORS:
If you write a newsletter, you will find WSPM a most valuable tool.
All puzzles can be saved in ASCII files so that you can import them
into editors, word processors, and desk top publishing programs.
This program is used by many newsletter writers to appeal to a
broader readership, to make their newsletters more interesting and
fun, to make it more attractive, or to make a unique statement.
WANT TO GET PUBLISHED?
We have gotten reports of desktop publishers and writers who are
using WSPM to sell puzzles to magazines as fillers. One of them
sold $975.00 worth of puzzles created using WSPM and a companion
program, you can receive upon registration, to a reputable publisher
for a puzzle book that was published in 1993. He had never gotten a
puzzle published before using WSPM.
PUZZLE LOVERS:
You will love WSPM because you can create an infinite number of
puzzles quickly and easily. The power of this tool also lets you
be creative so that you have control over your final product.

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for "Word Search Puzzle Maker" is quite
simple. The package includes a program, "INSTALL.BAT", which automates
the entire process. You will need about 250-K of available disk space on
the hard drive on which you plan to install WSPM.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received WSPM.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place WSPM distribution diskette in the appropriate diskette
drive.
o Make sure the drive where your diskette is located is the active
drive. For example, if your diskette is in drive A you will
enter A:. To run the INSTALL.BAT program enter INSTALL followed
by your hard drive letter and a colon. For example, if your
hard drive letter is C you would enter INSTALL C:.
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the WSPM files to that directory.
o To run the program enter WSPM from the WSPM directory. For
detailed instructions on how to use WSPM see the DOCUMENT.TXT
file which contains the documentation. To print the documentation,
enter GO from the WSPM directory after you have installed the
program.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded Word Search Puzzle Maker from a BBS (or received it in
the form of archive files from some other source), you will need to
perform the following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.BAT" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the WSPM package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would make sure your hard
drive is the active drive. For example, if your hard drive is C
you would enter C:. Then make sure your are in the \TEMPDIR\
directory by entering CD\TEMPDIR. Then run the INSTALL.BAT program
by entering INSTALL C:.
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the WSPM files to that directory.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed WSPM
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
The files will be placed into a directory named WSPM. To run the
program enter WSPM. For detailed information on using the WSPM see
the file DOCUMENT.TXT. You can also print a copy of this
documentation by entering GO at the DOS prompt.
