- X-Words 1.0
-
- August 1995, by Andrew Trevorrow (akt@kagi.com)
- ============================================================
-
-
- X-Words is a word game for 1 to 4 players. Anybody familiar with
- other crossword-like games should have no trouble learning how to
- play. See "Getting Started" in "About X-Words".
-
-
- The supplied word lists
- -----------------------
-
- X-Words uses a loaded list of words when looking for a move, and
- when checking that a word you've made is legal. To help set up an
- even contest, you can load any one of the following word lists:
-
- - "Words" (the default) has about 40,000 words suitable for adults.
- - "For Kids" has 2,000 words suitable for children aged 5 to 7.
- - "For Juniors" has 10,000 words for children aged 8 and up.
- - "Lots of Words" has over 110,000 words for aficionados.
-
- Please let me know if you find any spelling errors in these lists.
- Note that I have included both US and UK spellings for many words.
- Feel free to add or delete words as you see fit; this is very easy
- to do using the "Edit" item in the "Words" menu.
-
-
- System and memory requirements
- ------------------------------
-
- X-Words will run on every Macintosh model from a Mac Plus up to a
- Power Mac (in native mode), and under any System version from 4.1
- up to 7.5. It will also work with any type of monitor, large or
- small, color or monochrome.
-
- X-Words is distributed with a preferred memory size of about 1500K
- so that "Lots of Words" can be loaded. If you only plan to use
- "Words" and the other smaller word lists then you can set the
- preferred memory size down to about 800K.
-
-
- Shareware fee
- -------------
-
- If you decide to keep X-Words, please pay the shareware fee:
-
- Australia Rest of the world
- AUS$20 US$20 (or equivalent amount in your local currency)
-
- This is a one-time-only fee that covers you for ALL future versions.
- The best way to pay is to use the Register program distributed with
- X-Words. It lets you pay in various ways and supports all the major
- credit cards (the cheapest option for people outside Australia).
-

- people who prefer not to use Register can send their payment by
- cheque, cash or money order to:
