README File for WordSearch for Windows.
The program WORDSRCH.EXE and the information files README.WS (this file)
and WORDSRCH.WRI, the user instructions for the programs, are
Copyright 1994 by Lane C. Showalter. All rights are reserved.
WordSearch for Windows is shareware, but it is not free. Anyone may try
the program for up to a month to determine whether it will be useful.
Before continuing usage beyond the 30 day period you should register the
program, as indicated below.
WORDSRCH.EXE generates Word Search puzzles - grids of letters with words
embedded in any direction, with unused spaces filled with extra letters.
Words to be searched for are listed below the puzzle. The program is
unique, because it accepts foreign language accents, which are printed in
the puzzle. This is unusual, partly because the standard IBM printed
character set does not include accented capitals, and partly because
accented capitals are not usually used in print. The ability to display
accented capitals makes the program especially useful for teachers of
languages such as French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and
Scandinavian languages, particularly in elementary schools. Even without
the accent capability, which can be ignored if desired, the program is a
very powerful puzzle generator with many handy features.
I wrote this program originally for my wife, who teaches French in an
elementary school. She has tested it thoroughly and uses it regularly
in her classes.
The program runs on any computer that runs Microsoft (R) Windows 3.x.
Puzzles generated by the program can be printed on any printer which
has been installed under Windows.
To register the program, please send $15 to me at the address below.
Registration will entitle you to use any future upgrades or improvements
in the program, and to receive assistance from me if you have problems
using the program for a period of 6 months after registration, or after
obtaining any future version of the program. I would also welcome your
suggestions for features and improvements. I can be contacted at the
