- There are two programs I know of...
- CWC.ZIP Crossword Creator
- and
- WORDFIND.ZIP A wordsearch puzzle creator
-
- I'm sure both are available on wuarchive.wustl.edu. Try using Archie
- and see what turns up.
-
- WORDFIND is rather barebones. You can make the puzzle,
- but you can't really save it. Of course, WORDFIND is a public domain
- program so you can't complain too much. (What I usually do is activate
- the program through Windows, create the word search puzzle in a DOS window,
- capture the completed puzzle to the clipboard and import it into a word
- processor program.)
