I'm not going to bore you with the usual registration, shareware,
features, and usage here. BUT I do strongly suggest you read the
rest of this short document for future upgrades and support. If
you have any suggestions for improvements or bug reports they can
be mailed to the address above or at the end of this file. If you'd
like to have the source code (* Turbo Pascal *), future upgrades

---- DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------
EPPuzzle is a very simple and easy game. It generates 15
random words and places them in a 15x15 block of random letters.
These words can placed in the puzzle diagonally, backwards,
forwards, vertical, horizontal or any combination. The object
of the game is to find all of the words listed down the right
side of the puzzle in the block letters.
When you find a word click on the first letter, the box at
the top will display the letter and the button for that letter
stays down. When you click on the next letter in the word it's
displayed in the top box and it's button stays down also. When
you've clicked on all the letters the word is removed from the
list of words on the right, all the buttons for that word are
released and your ready to start on the next word. If you make a
mistake and click on the wrong letter then click on the top box
that spells out the word or the box that says CLEAR and all the
buttons will be released so you can start again. When and if
there are later releases the CLEAR button will be removed and
just the picked display button will be used for mistakes.

------- FUTURE ADDITIONS ----------------------------------------------------
The future of this game depends on you. If you send in your
registration fee then future upgrades will be possible. If not
other projects will get the programing time. It depends on you!
Here's a list of possible upgrade additions.
The option of printing the puzzles with the answers.
The option to create your own puzzle using the words that
you choose.
( This option could be used to create puzzles with a persons
childs spelling words. Then let the child spell the out
the words from the puzzle. )
Printing to the printer or the clipboard.
( The addition of printing to the clipboard would be very
nice for creating newspaper or news letter like games
or even word puzzle books.)
Better checking of the clicked on letters.
( The way the puzzle is setup now you don't have to click
on the letters in the word order. For example the word
LETTERS you can click on the L and then the second E
then TT and the first E then RS and it will be the same
as clicking on LETTERS in that order.)

= VERSION 2 ADDITIONS ===================================================
The print function has been added. The printing works but has
no cancel requester and is only setup for three resolutions. The
resolutions are 180x180 360x360 and 720x720. It's setup to print
at 180x180 with out any changes. To change to a higher resolution
from the puzzle screen save a puzzle named the higher resolution.
An example would be 360.PUZ would print a puzzle in 360x360 and
720.PUZ will print a puzzle 720x720. In future updates there will
hopefully be a select printer, cancel printing, and print resolution
requester. If you change from 360 to 720 printer resolution then
you have to remove the old 360.PUZ file. If you save a file for
higher resolution then to go back to 180x180 resolution remove
the 360.PUZ or 720.PUZ file.
The option for Editing or personalized puzzles has been added.
The words are limited to 10 charatures and there are 10 words.
Type in the words that you want but don't press enter until you've
added all you want to add. Check the spelling and what ever else you
need to do before pressing enter. If you accidently press enter before
your done then you will have to reenter the words.
