Krozword Assistant
ver 1.00
by Alan Deala
Purpose: The Krozword Assistant is a simple utility for entering &
editing puzzles for the Krozword BBS door.
Use: Typing in KROZASST at the DOS prompt will bring up a blank screen
with a menu off to the left side. (You may also type in KROZASST
followed by the name of an already existing puzzle to load that puzzle
in for editing).
The menu off to the left has the following options:
(N)ew Puzzle - this is for starting a puzzle from scratch. The first
thing you will need to provide is a name for the puzzle. Then you
must enter the number of columns and rows the puzzle will have.
Lastly, you need to put in your name (or any name really if you will
be uploading the puzzle, Krozword will change the name to your
online name).
(L)oad Puzzle - this is for the loading in of puzzle that has already
been made. A dialog box for choosing files will display. You may
press F1 for help, type in the file name, select a file with the
mouse or arrow keys, or type in a new file mask (i.e. PUZ*.*)
The selected puzzle will load if there are no errors. If there is an
error, KrozAsst will tell you how far into the puzzle it got before
encountering the error. You can try to look at the puzzle with a
text editor to repair the puzzle.
(G)rid Edit - this is for the editing of the puzzle grid. You may
enter letters into the puzzle by hitting the corresponding letter
key on your keyboard, or enter a blank/black box by hitting the
space bar. The cursor will automatically advance to the next square.
Hit the Escape (Esc) key to stop editing the grid.
(C)lue Edit - this is for the editing of the clues associated with the
words on the grid. The current word will be highlighted when you
enter clue editing mode. Use the left & right arrow keys to scroll
thru the "Across" words and use the up & down arrow keys to scroll
thru the "Down" words. Hitting the "Enter" key when a word is
highlighted will allow you to edit the clue for that word. (Valid
keys are the standard alphanumeric keys [A-Z & 0-9] and the
Backspace key. The arrow keys, Home, End, Insert, & Delete keys will
not work... maybe on the next version). Hitting the Enter (or Esc)
key again will end your editing for that clue.
(S)ave - After all the work of entering a puzzle, you'll certainly
want to save it. So pick a file name to save it under (KrozAsst will
warn you if the filename is already in use).
(Q)uit - Pretty obvious here... KrozAsst will warn you if you try to
exit without saving the latest changes to your puzzle.
