X-Words 1.0
August 1995, by Andrew Trevorrow (akt@kagi.com)
============================================================
X-Words is a word game for 1 to 4 players. Anybody familiar with
other crossword-like games should have no trouble learning how to
play. See "Getting Started" in "About X-Words".
The supplied word lists
-----------------------
X-Words uses a loaded list of words when looking for a move, and
when checking that a word you've made is legal. To help set up an
even contest, you can load any one of the following word lists:
- "Words" (the default) has about 40,000 words suitable for adults.
- "For Kids" has 2,000 words suitable for children aged 5 to 7.
- "For Juniors" has 10,000 words for children aged 8 and up.
- "Lots of Words" has over 110,000 words for aficionados.
Please let me know if you find any spelling errors in these lists.
Note that I have included both US and UK spellings for many words.
Feel free to add or delete words as you see fit; this is very easy
to do using the "Edit" item in the "Words" menu.
System and memory requirements
------------------------------
X-Words will run on every Macintosh model from a Mac Plus up to a
Power Mac (in native mode), and under any System version from 4.1
up to 7.5. It will also work with any type of monitor, large or
small, color or monochrome.
X-Words is distributed with a preferred memory size of about 1500K
so that "Lots of Words" can be loaded. If you only plan to use
"Words" and the other smaller word lists then you can set the
preferred memory size down to about 800K.
Shareware fee
-------------
If you decide to keep X-Words, please pay the shareware fee:
Australia Rest of the world
AUS$20 US$20 (or equivalent amount in your local currency)
This is a one-time-only fee that covers you for ALL future versions.
The best way to pay is to use the Register program distributed with
X-Words. It lets you pay in various ways and supports all the major
credit cards (the cheapest option for people outside Australia).
Register is set up for US dollars. Australian residents and other
people who prefer not to use Register can send their payment by
cheque, cash or money order to:
Andrew Trevorrow
19 Abbott Lane
North Adelaide 5006
Australia
