Getting Started
---------------
Crossword Creator Version 4.00 is almost a total rewrite of CWC 3.70. The
formats of the puzzle files are the same, but just about everything else
is new and improved. New user-interface, new printer drivers, new features.
CWINSTAL, the installation program, is gone. To get CWC up and running,
just copy all the files to your working disk and run CWC.EXE. The options
in your CONFIG.CWC file are now specified via the CONFIGURATION function
in the main program.
CWC???.DOC, the documentation files, are also gone. All sixty-plus pages
of the NEW documentation is now available on-line through CWC's help
function. The actual text is contained in ENGL.CWH. If you really want a
printed manual, CWHPRINT.EXE has been provided to print ENGL.CWH in a
readable format.
*.CWP, the printer definition files, have been renamed and rebuilt. Don't
try to use drivers from a previous version. New keywords have been added,
others have been dropped, some have acquired additional function. A "Printer
Support List" is provided in the help file to aid you in selecting the correct
driver for your printer. CWC comes pre-installed for an IBM Graphics Printer.
The fastest way to get up to speed is to simply run CWC.EXE. Once
you've gotten by the Copyright/Intro screen, the FIRST thing you should do
is press F1, the HELP key. This will pop-up a "Quick Start" tutorial that
will give you a short overview of the program, and provide further
instructions on how to configure Crossword Creator. Creating CONFIG.CWC
should be the SECOND thing you do.
After that, everything's easy. All your existing puzzles are 100%
compatible with Version 4.00; just use them as you always have.
The HELP TOPICS function is your Table of Contents to the HELP file.
There's lots of valuable information in there, so read it as you go.
