- requirement for CROSSWORD EXPRESS!
-
- o Full mouse support, as well as the ability to control the
- program from the keyboard.
-
- o User configurable for multiple language support. Just translate

- subsequent importing into your Desk Top Publisher or Word
- Processor, etc. as a *Windows(tm) Metafile or PCX image.

- Some Questions and Answers ....
-
- Q1: If I sell a crossword that I've created using CROSSWORD
- EXPRESS what royalty payments are expected by AUS-PC-SOFT?
- A1: Absolutely NONE if you are a registered owner of
- CROSSWORD EXPRESS. Under that condition, you are free
- to do with your puzzle as you wish.
-
- Q2: Can I legally use the 30,000+ word dictionary as the
- wordlist database for another puzzle program?
- A2: ONLY if it's for YOUR personal use and you are a
- registered owner of CROSSWORD EXPRESS. Then the answer
- provided for Q1 would apply. It would, however, be a
- violation of our copyright protection if any portion
- of our dictionaries was used in other than AUS-PC-SOFT
- authorized products.
-
- Q3: I've seen advertisements for competing programs that
- seem to offer substantially less but cost much more. Why?
- A3: Ahhh, you noticed! Actually, we set the price on the
- extreme low side for many reasons. Here are a few:
-
- 1> Our Advertising costs are extremely low since we're
- using the Internet as our primary marketing vehicle.
- 2> We don't use expensive, full-color packaging that
- you'll throw away as soon as you receive it.
- CROSSWORD EXPRESS will be Air-Mailed to you in a
- plain, heavy-weight envelope.
- 3> Online, self-contained documentation is used instead
- of costly printed versions. CROSSWORD EXPRESS is so
- easy to use, you probably will have little need for
- even the online help functions after one or two puzzles!
-
- 4> Volume sales! Admittedly, this is a gamble but one that
- we hope will be rewarded by your support.
-
- Q5: What additional features does the Pro version have?
-
- A5: It is geared to professional use for Web site owners,
- publishers, and educators. It adds support for:
-
- - Vocabulary lesson and special interest puzzle creation with
- up to 256 user words. The input words are arranged in
- sparse puzzles with only the words of interest placement.
-
- - Additional dictionaries as mentioned a few paragraphs above.
-
- - More flexible printing with optional solution inversion and
- partially solved puzzle printing.
-
- Q6: You make reference to "The Perfect Gift" ... a GIFT?

- make an exceptional gift item because:

- skills and knowledge for all ages!
