This software package contains a program tape for crossword puzzle generation and crossword puzzle playing. This is done by two programs:

Program 1: 'XWORD-GEN' is a program which allows you to create crossword puzzles. First you plan the puzzle on paper, following the instructions in the booklet inside this pack. Then you load this program and enter the details of the puzzle. At the close of the session, the program creates a data file for your puzzle. The puzzle is then ready for use by you or another player.

Program 2: 'WORD_PLAY' enables you to play any crossword for which a data file has been created by the first program. After loading the play program, the user enters the name of the puzzle that they want to play. Its data file is then loaded off of their cassette and the puzzle appears on the screen.
