- Getting Started
- ---------------
- Crossword Creator Version 4.00 is almost a total rewrite of CWC 3.70. The
- formats of the puzzle files are the same, but just about everything else
- is new and improved. New user-interface, new printer drivers, new features.
-
- CWINSTAL, the installation program, is gone. To get CWC up and running,
- just copy all the files to your working disk and run CWC.EXE. The options
- in your CONFIG.CWC file are now specified via the CONFIGURATION function
- in the main program.
-
- CWC???.DOC, the documentation files, are also gone. All sixty-plus pages
- of the NEW documentation is now available on-line through CWC's help
- function. The actual text is contained in ENGL.CWH. If you really want a
- printed manual, CWHPRINT.EXE has been provided to print ENGL.CWH in a
- readable format.
-
- *.CWP, the printer definition files, have been renamed and rebuilt. Don't
- try to use drivers from a previous version. New keywords have been added,
- others have been dropped, some have acquired additional function. A "Printer
- Support List" is provided in the help file to aid you in selecting the correct
- driver for your printer. CWC comes pre-installed for an IBM Graphics Printer.
-
- The fastest way to get up to speed is to simply run CWC.EXE. Once
- you've gotten by the Copyright/Intro screen, the FIRST thing you should do
- is press F1, the HELP key. This will pop-up a "Quick Start" tutorial that
- will give you a short overview of the program, and provide further
- instructions on how to configure Crossword Creator. Creating CONFIG.CWC
- should be the SECOND thing you do.
-
- After that, everything's easy. All your existing puzzles are 100%
- compatible with Version 4.00; just use them as you always have.
- The HELP TOPICS function is your Table of Contents to the HELP file.
- There's lots of valuable information in there, so read it as you go.
