CROSSWORD  POWER
                           ==================
                              Version 5.00

        Create, print out and solve crossword puzzles from your words and 
        clues.  Words can be manually or automatically placed in the
        puzzle grid.  Auto-search can quickly create over 200 different
        word arrangements to find the puzzle with the most words.  Puzzles
        can also be saved as PCX and ASCII files.
                                      
        Puzzles have been used by trainers for seminars, by teachers for 
        vocabulary review, by businesses for their company newsletters, 
        by newspapers for promotions, and for solving at parties. 
                          
        Hard-to-find fixed-width 12 and 15 pitch Courier fonts are included
        for the H-P LaserJet II and DeskJet printers.  The optional font
        cartridge for the EPSONLQ printer is supported.  A wide variety of
        printers are supported allowing solid black, checkered pattern, or
        other ASCII characters to fill the unused puzzle letter squares.
