DESCRIPTION
-----------
The Crossword Power Tools (CPT) is software for
creation of crosswords from scratch. CPT-Diagrams
is a program from the CPT kit. Its main and unique
goal is to generate diagrams - the layout of black
and white cells of the crossword grid. It's unique
in the sense that we don't know any other crossword
related program able to do this automatic generation.

Features:
- Generates diagrams in different styles;
- It has several algorithms for generation with
  parameters;
- Supports over 20 conditions for the properties of
  the generated diagrams;
- Data management modules can handle without problem
  crossword sets containing tens of thousands diagrams;
- Built in queries over the crossword sets;
- Includes the CPT-Editor which allows browsing and
  editing files in many data formats, filling and
  printing crosswords in many languages.

There is HTML documentation and you can find more
details there. The supplied diagrams, grids and
crosswords are generated by the CPT programs and
are free.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
- Supported OS: Linux (x86) - tested on Red Hat 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2
  (for Win 9X and Win NT 4.0 there is a separate distribution);
- Requires 1 MB of disk space and 32 MB RAM;
- This is Java program and Sun's JDK/JRE 1.1.6 or
  greater or compatible is needed (see support/LinuxJRE.txt);

INSTALL
-------
1. Extract this archive into temporary directory.

2. Run "install" script from the temporary directory
   in xterm (it runs under X Window).
   This will start the wizard and according to your
   choices, the CPT-Diagrams program will be installed.

3. The installation progarm (install.class) is a
   self-extracting class file whose contents get
   extracted during the installation and two
   directories will be created:
   - the target one you choosed for the installation;
   - <home>\bin directory for the uninstall program
   (see UNINSTALL below).
   If your window manager is KDE or some of the 
   window managers from the Red Hat distribution,
   entries for CPT-Diagrams in the desktop menu
   will be added.

4. During the installation you will be asked for a
   License Key, if you don't have, leave the field
   empty - the program will run in Demo mode. In this
   mode some of the saving and printing operations are
   disabled (you can run the generator, the editor, the
   print-preview, you can save your work in text files,
   but the exporting to other formats and creating/saving
   libraries are locked).

5. If you have problem running CPT-Diagrams,
   check/modify the generated 'cpt_d11' file to
   reflect your JDK/JRE environment, especially
   if you install a new version of JRE after you
   install this program.

UNINSTALL
---------
To uninstall, do one of the following:

1. Click on the 'uninstall' item added to the
desktop menu. This will work only if the
installation program managed to recognize
your window manager and a menu folder
'Crossword Power Tools' has been added,
if not - see 2.

2. Go to your <home>/bin and run

   ./juninst <inst-dir>/UnInst

where <inst-dir> is the path where you
installed the program.

If you have installed a new version of JRE after
the installation of this program, check/modify
'juninst' in your <home>/bin sub directory.

After the uninstallation the '<home>/bin' directory
will not be removed because it serves all CPT
packages. If you don't have any other CPT
program, you can delete it.

LINUX "FEATURES"
----------------
Here are the known problems not solved in the
Linux version of CPT-Diagrams.

1. When you have to select directory via 'Select Folder'
button from the Top Window, the Linux native control will
not set the directory path until you select a file from
the directory.

2. The standard Java printing may not work properly with your
language and you have to create PostScript file in Print-preview
and print it, e.g. via gv program.

3. Not all possible Linux window managers and their settings
are supported. For the detailed list see
   '/support/WindowManagers.txt'.
