The Crossword Construction Kit, version 1.2
Copyright (C) 1993 Kijin Jung, All Rights Reserved
Welcome to The Crossword Construction Kit, version 1.2!
CCK allows you to create square, diagonally symmetrical
crossword puzzles - the kind you see in your local
newspaper. After constructing and filling in the grid,
CCK gives you the option of saving the grid and the
solutions as EPS files for a professional appearance. Clues
can be saved separately as text files, which you may format
as you desire.
Registering CCK will give you the ability to create from a
small 11x11 grid puzzle up to a whopping 23x23 grid
crossword puzzle (CCK shareware is limited to a 15x15 grid
ONLY). Registering also eliminates the three second delay
at the introduction screen. The two versions are otherwise
identical.
QUICK START
Pressing F1 at most screens will invoke the context-
sensitive help engine. A mouse will be used if a driver
is installed.
Start the Crossword Construction Kit by typing CCK at the
DOS prompt. To examine the sample templates, choose "Load
Template" and enter either cck1 or cck2.
To examine the sample game files, choose "Game Menu" from
the Template Menu, choose "Load Game", and enter either cck1
or cck2. If you'd like to solve these games on paper, choose
"Print to File" from the Game Menu, choose "Print Grid" and
enter a file name (for example, cck1), which will create a
file called CCK1.EPS. This EPS file can then be printed
through an illustration program which imports EPS files.
To print the accompanying clues to a file, choose "Print
Clues" from the print menu and enter a file name (for
example, cck1), which will create a file called CCK1.TXT.
This TXT file can then be formatted and printed as you wish.
If you have any suggestions, bug reports, or comments, you
can write me at the address below, or if you're on the net,
e-mail me.
