Description:
WordHunt is a word search puzzle game generator similar to
those found in popular books and magazines. The program
allows you to create your own computer generated puzzles
of any type and size. The computer can take almost any file
with ascii data, extract words from them, and hide them
in a grid of randomly selected characters. You can save puzzles,
solve them by locating the hidden words from the listing with
the mouse, and print them to the printer, a file, or
the clipboard.

Multi window environment
OS2.0+/3.0 compliant interface and compatibility. (some features
vary slightly when running under different OS versions.)

Read the file WordHunt_Help.guide in AmigaGuide
or MultiView or any AmigaGuide browser for more
information on how to use the program.
Installation:
Simply unarc the lha file with 'lha -x x WordHunt'.
There are no necessary assigns to be made or libraries
to install. Just move the extracted drawer to your
desired storage device.
Distribution:
Version 1.1 is freeware. You may use this program or give it
away freely, but the program executable may not be altered in any way.
It may be included in public domain/shareware collections
and public databases of programs of this kind. No charge may be
collected for the program except for nominal fees for disk media,
mailing, etc., as is customary in PD software distribution services.
Comments on V1.1:
Version 1.1 supercedes and replaces 1.0. Version 1.1 fixes a few
minor bugs and cosmetic details. The main problem with 1.0 had to
do with invisible menu text and other color display related problems
when opening on public screens with palettes that are different than
the Workbench screen. Version 1.1 works better.
Bug reports:
WordHunt may cause problems with Magic Menus. I don't know why.
WordHunt follows the Intuition guidelines to the letter, AFAIK.
