set of crosswords are included here, but more are included after

Cryptic was written by Steven Porter, and is entirely my own work.
Cryptic was written using Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 from Borland.
Cryptic is an ObjectWindows program.  Portions of this software package
are copyright to Borland International.

The software provided within this package is provided on an "as is" 
basis and the author (Steven Porter) makes no warranty whatsoever 
regarding the product and specifically disclaims any implied 
warranty or liability of any kind.

All trademarks are acknowledged.

3.  Requirements

To run, Cryptic needs the following

    Microsoft Windows 3.1
    IBM Compatible PC
    Mouse or pointing device

4.  Shareware and Distribution

The complete package contained within the compressed file and is distributed 
as shareware.  It is not free nor is it public domain.  The copyright of 
the package is retained with the author (Steven Porter).  This software 
can be evaluated for a limited period of 30 days.  Afterwhich, if you 
intend to continue using it, you must register with the author (see the 
Windows help file for further information).  You, the user, may freely 
distribute the compressed file, but the individual files contained within 
must not be distributed separately.

The compressed file contains the following files:

CRYPTIC.EXE  - Windows executable file
CRYPTIC.TXT  - This text file
CRYPTIC.HLP  - Windows help file
CRYPTIC.INI  - The Initialisation file
NNN.CPF      - Cryptic crossword files
PSUBS.DLL    - Windows dynamic link library

All of the files should be located in one directory, with the exception 
of PSUBS.DLL which should be copied to the windows/system directory - 
however, this is not necessary.  If you do copy the DLL file to the 
windows/system directory this may save some disk space because it will be 
used by other shareware programs I have written.

I ask only a nominal fee for registration, so do the right thing and 
register.
