What's New




        Changes in CCK 1.3 (July 4, 1993)

        - Changed the format of and greatly reduced the size of CCK
          game files.
        - Changed clue entry field from 54 spaces to 74 spaces.
        - Changed minimum grid size to 9 for the registered version,
          as requested by some users.
        - Changed spacing in clue text such that all clues are
          indented equivalently. This makes it easier to align tabs
          when importing into a text-formatting program.
        - Removed Microsoft mouse support due to numerous bugs
          specifically caused by the int86 function (for example, CCK
          would crash miserably in a DOS box under Windows).
        - Fixed the 'no-clue' bug. The template now requires enough
          space for at least one clue in each direction.
        - Fixed Caps Lock bug.
        - Added CONVERT.EXE utility to update previously created CCK
          files to version 1.3.
        - Added ASCII Draft option under the printing menu to allow
          for a fast, convenient way to view puzzles.
        - Added 'memory' to filename entry, which now recalls the
          last typed filename.
        - Added creation of *.bak files for CCK game files.
        - Added arrow marker to indicate whether the word is longer
          than word window.
        - Added "Press Any Key" clarifications to error messages.
        - Added yes/no prompt when quitting.
        - Added miscellaneous changes in appearance.



        Changes in CCK 1.2 (June 20, 1993)

        - Added Microsoft mouse support.
        - Added prolog to EPS files to make them printable to
          PostScript printers.



        Changes in CCK 1.1 (June 12, 1993)

        - Removed the across and down numbers when printing the
          grid solution to an EPS file.
        - Added a context-sensitive color-coded help engine.
        - Added a 15-space clue window when entering clues.
        - Added arrow marker to indicate whether the clue is longer
          than clue window.
        - Changed the behavior of backspace while entering letters
          on the grid (word entry). Backspace now erases letters.
        - Fixed the behavior of backspace in the clue and filename
          entry windows (backspace now erases the first letter).
        - Fixed keyboard buffer when exiting.



        Changes in CCK 1.0 (June 5, 1993)
