You are about to install the most versatile crossword program currently
available on the Shareware market. It is called THE DAILY CROSSWORD, and
provides you with a completely automatic method of creating professional
quality crossword puzzles. We hope that you will enjoy using it, and that
you will introduce it to all of your friends and associates. Remember
however that it is intended only as a demonstration program, designed
to give you an impression of the power of CROSSWORD EXPRESS which is the
name of the program you will receive when you register with AUS-PC-SOFT.
CROSSWORD EXPRESS is a Windows program which is packed with additional
features which make it an absolute must for the crossword hobbyist and the
crossword professional alike. Briefly, the additional features are :-
: Full mouse support, as well as the ability to control the program from
the keyboard.
: Regardless of the type of printer connected to your system (dot matrix,
ink-jet or laser), CROSSWORD EXPRESS will print to it provided only that
it is supplied with a Windows printer driver.
: A wide range of print options allows fine control of the appearance of
the printed output, including size, positioning and font. Clues can be
exported to the Clipboard for subsequent importing into your word
processor, desk top publisher etc.

more than one dictionary when making a crossword. The dictionaries you
select are merged into a single MULTI dictionary before construction of
the crossword begins.
: Supplied with 3 dictionaries viz:-
ENGLISH - over 30000 words and clues.
ENG-ITA - over 9000 English words with Italian words as clues.
ARITH - over 6500 arithmetic clues and answers as words. (Thats right
CROSSWORD EXPRESS allows numbers to be used as well as
letters).
: Name your puzzles as they are constructed, so that they may be recalled
at a later time. The number of puzzles which can be saved is limited
only by the vacant space on your hard disk.
: MULTI-MAKE function allows up to 9,999 puzzles to be made in unattended
mode, and printed out or saved for later use. This facility is ideal for
making novelty place-mats for use in fast food restaurants etc.
: A scoreboard function keeps you up to date on progress as you are
solving a puzzle "on screen".
: A preset word facility allows up to 20 words in the puzzle to be preset
to particular words of your choosing. CROSSWORD EXPRESS will fill in
the remaining words.
As a registered user of CROSSWORD EXPRESS you will also be able to take
part in a Network Distribution system, whereby you may introduce the
program to other potential users, and receive a system of commission pay-
ments for any sales which you are able to promote. Full details of how
this system is intended to operate can be found on the Help screens which

key except 'P' or Escape, whenever you are in the HELP system of THE DAILY
CROSSWORD).
