CROSSWORD PUZZLE AID (PPC ONLY) By Erik Oliver Version 1.0 oliver@dolphin.upenn.edu
System Requirements: * PPC Based Macintosh Compatible computer * ample memory for the dictionary file you are using.
This program is similar in many respects to what one might use the 'grep' program for on a UNIX box. The idea here is to simplify the process of using a grep-like program for crossword puzzle assistance.
You need the application, Crossword, and a text file consisting of the words/phrases that you wish to search in. I have included a NYTimes file which consists of the words from a number of weeks worth of New York Times Crossword Puzzles. A large english language dictionary is available with the program Anagram 1.5 in the Info-Mac archives. (The slow speed of that program on my PowerMac lead me to write this program.)
This is not a top notch Mac program but a quick and dirty tool to assist crossword puzzle fans. Thus there are no guarantees express or implied for using this program and any use is at your own risk. This program and the associated dictionary file are freeware.
Notes
This file was archived from info-mac / funet and is provided for historical preservation. Most files are in BinHex (.hqx) or StuffIt (.sit/.sea/.cpt) format; you will need The Unarchiver or a classic Mac emulator to open them.
