Program CROSSWORD 3.2

Product description

Version 3.2 of the CROSSWORD program made it as easy as possible the creation

of new crosswords. For this, a database of words and their corresponding

questions is provided, stored in the folder AUTOCRS.

Inside this main database folder the following structure is:

the database related to the Russian-language embedded font mode is stored in

the RUS folder;

the database related to the English language embedded font mode is stored in

the ENG folder;

databases related to external font files are stored in folders named after

the corresponding font files.

A similar file location structure is now in the DAT and SAV folders.

Everything is created automatically and you don't need to bother with it. Now

you just don't have to control which file corresponds to which font file.

Everything is done automatically. You don't have to go anywhere with your

hands, never. Unless you are an experimental hacker.

The database is created, used and replenished automatically when creating new

crossword data files by any of two ways. To do this, in response to the

request that appears, select the autocrs option (press * on the keyboard or

click the mouse on *). Or refuse this option (we see no reason to do this) by

pressing any other key on the keyboard (by clicking on other), - then everything

will be as before.

With this option selected, you will not have to write questions for the words

contained in the database - ideally, not a single question. And those words

that are not yet in the database will automatically replenish the database

along with the questions written to them, so that it will be easier next

time.

You do not need to control what font you create a new crossword puzzle - these

are the functions of the program. Only now the data files corresponding to a

specific embedded or external font will be available and displayed if the

corresponding embedded font mode or an external font file is selected in the

main or configuration menu items. Otherwise, they will not be displayed and

will be inaccessible from the program, although they will be stored in the

corresponding folders. This is for your convenience.

To automatically replenish the database of words and questions to them from

ready-made crossword data files, as well as to manually replenish and delete

words and questions to them, item R of the main program menu is intended. Just

follow the prompts and instructions that appear - everything is as intuitive

and automated as possible. The database, corresponding to the embedded font

mode or external font file selected by the main or configuration menu items,

will be automatically updated and changed. You have to control only font

selection and nothing else. The database is replenished only with those words

(and questions to them) that are not yet in the database. If the word is not

in the database, then it will not be deleted. Everything is provided. To replace

a question to the word with a better one, you must first delete this word

from the database (the question for it will be deleted automatically along

with the word); and then, add the same word to the database (along with a

written new question to it). Full automation!

Remember that a separate database is created for each embedded font or external

font file. You can set a goal to replenish the database for a specific mode of

the embedded font or external font file as fully as possible alphabetically

using dictionaries. Then the process of creating a new crossword data file

will be reduced only to entering words into the crossword grid and will take a

minimum of time. Databases for specific fonts-alphabets can be exchanged (or

sold) over the Internet.
