       About Text for WordPuzzle Pro rel 1.2
-======================================================-

If you are using the Shareware version of the program,
you are permitted to use this application for 30 days
from the installation of the program, after which you
should register the product if you wish to continue
using it. Registration has many benefits other than
removing software restrictions.
You may freely distribute this ZIP file, but not for
profit, and only in its original complete ZIP format.

This is the "About" text for version 1.2 of
"WordPuzzle Pro".
This is the second release of the software. Full details
of planned updates can be found in the accompanying html
help files upon installation.

Install software by extracting the ZIP archive to a
temporary directory, and then running the SETUP.EXE
program (e.g. by double-clicking on it via Windows
Explorer). Further details are given within the
installation program.

"WordPuzzle Pro" is designed to aid in the
creation and completion of crosswords and other word-
based puzzles using a variety of media - e.g. 
disk/email/ftp transfer (distributable format), paper 
(printed), document (via Clipboard to Word Processors
etc.), and Internet (using HTML).
It incorporates easy editing tools to prepare the
grid, reference tools to find appropriate words, clues
and anagrams, reuse tools to store favourite words,
clues, and grids, auto-fill, image management,
a very full on-line help in HTML, and plenty of example
files to get you started.

"WordPuzzle Pro" is written in Delphi for
32-bit operating systems (Win9X,2xxx,NT). It operates
satisfactorily on any Pentium-class PC, although for
large-dimension grids, or grids involving a lot of
graphics, or for auto-filling speed, more memory/
faster processor is preferable.
