..^U:BRAIN. T H E C R U C I V E R B A L I S T.. BY BARBARA SCHULAK AND FENDER TUCKER.. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHO MAKES.UP THE CROSSWORD PUZZLES THAT GRAC E.NEWSSTANDS AND NEWSPAPERS ALL OVER.THE COUNTRY? WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHO.THEY A RE, BUT I'LL BET THEY HAVE.PLENTY OF ERA SERS. A FEW YEARS BACK.I TRIED MY HAND AT CRAFTING SOME.CROSSWORD PUZZLES AND I T DIDN'T TAKE.LONG FOR ME TO REALIZE THA T IT'S NOT.EASY... I FELT THAT THERE HAD TO BE A.BETTER WAY THAN PENCILING IN SOME.WORDS AND ERASING THEM WHEN THEY.D IDN'T WORK. AND NOW THERE IS!.. THE CRUCIVERBALIST, WHICH IS A.TEN-DOLLAR WO RD FOR A PERSON WHO.MAKES UP CROSSWORD P UZZLES, IS NOT A.TOY PROGRAM THAT THROWS WORDS.TOGETHER. IT IS SUITABLE FOR.PRO FESSIONAL CRUCIVERBALISTS AND I.ANTICIPA TE THAT SOME OF THE.CROSSWORDS YOU SEE I N YOUR NEWSPAPER.IN THE NEAR FUTURE WILL BE CREATED.WITH IT, OR A PROGRAM LIKE I T. THE.COMPUTER IS A NATURAL FOR THE JO B... DON'T PLAN ON MAKING YOUR FORTUN E.AS A CRUCIVERBALIST, THOUGH. THERE.MA Y BE A LOT OF SATISFACTION IN IT,.BUT TH ERE'S NOT MUCH CASH. MOST.MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS PAY AROUND.$25.00 FOR A PUZZ LE... THIS PROGRAM, AND ITS COMPANION .PROGRAM, CROSSWORD PLAYER, ARE EASY.TO USE AND UNDERSTAND, SO I WON'T GO.INTO D ETAIL ABOUT THEM, BUT THERE IS.MORE TO C ROSSWORDS IN GENERAL THAN.YOU'D THINK. ESPECIALLY PROFESSIONAL.CROSSWORDS... I FOUND OUT ALL ABOUT THE SEVERE.LIMITA TIONS THAT PUBLISHERS PLACE ON.CROSSWORD PUZZLES WHEN I READ A BOOK.CALLED "THE COMPLEAT CRUCIVERBALIST".BY STAN KURZBAN AND MEL ROSEN,.PUBLISHED BY BARNES AND NOBLE, 1982..YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF.REJECTIONS BY READING A BOOK LIKE.TH IS.... FOR INSTANCE, DID YOU KNOW THA T.TWO-LETTER WORDS AREN'T ALLOWED?.THAT THE RATIO OF BLANK SQUARES TO.BLACK SQUA RES MUST BE 6 TO 1? THAT.THERE MUST BE AT LEAST TWO WORDS THAT.EXTEND INTO EVER Y CORNER AREA? THAT.ALL PUZZLES MUST BE SYMMETRICAL?.. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW MORE THINGS.THAT DETERMINE WHETHER A PU ZZLE IS A.GOOD ONE OR A BAD ONE, BUT THO SE I.LISTED ARE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU WORKI NG.FOR A FEW AFTERNOONS... OF COURSE, THE CRUCIVERBALIST.DOESN'T FORCE YOU TO BE PROFESSIONAL,.BUT ITS FEATURES ENCOU RAGE IT... THE NATURAL PLACE TO START A.PUZZLE IS IN THE CONSTRUCTOR. HERE.Y OU CAN LAY OUT THE SKELETON OF THE.DIAGR AM. F2 TOGGLES THE SYMMETRY.MODE, WHICH WILL PLACE A SYMMETRICAL.BLACK SQUARE A T THE OPPOSITE END OF.THE PUZZLE FROM WH ERE YOU PLACE ONE..PROFESSIONAL PUZZLES ARE SYMMETRICAL..YOU CAN SAVE, LOAD A PR EVIOUSLY SAVED.PUZZLE OR SEND A PUZZLE T O PRINTER... IN THE CRUCIVERBALIST AN D IN.CROSSWORD PLAYER THE F1 KEY TOGGLES .BETWEEN THE CURSOR MOVING DOWN OR TO.TH E RIGHT. YOU'LL USE THIS KEY A LOT.WHEN YOU CONSTRUCT OR PLAY A PUZZLE..F8 TAKE S YOU BACK TO A PREVIOUS MENU.IN BOTH PR OGRAMS... THERE IS A PLAYER MODE BUIL T INTO.THE CRUCIVERBALIST THAT IS VERY.S IMILAR TO THE CROSSWORD PLAYER.PROGRAM. THIS IS SO YOU CAN CHECK.YOURSELF AS YO U BUILD YOUR CROSSWORD... THERE'S NO REASON TO WORRY ABOUT.THE DEFINITIONS UN TIL YOU HAVE YOUR.PUZZLE FINISHED, ALTHO UGH YOU CAN GO.INTO THE DEFINITIONS MODE AT ANY.TIME. JUST POSITION THE CURSOR OVER.THE WORD(S) YOU WANT TO DEFINE AND. THEN PRESS A OR D FOR ACROSS OR DOWN.AND ENTER YOUR DEFINITION IN THE BOX..YOUR DEFINITIONS CAN BE CRYPTIC OR.STRAIGHTFO RWARD -- THEY ARE WHAT.DETERMINE WHETHER A PUZZLE IS EASY OR.EXPERT, NOT SO MUCH THE WORDS IN THE.PUZZLE ITSELF.. WHE N YOU SAVE A PUZZLE, BOTH THE.PUZZLE AND THE DEFINITIONS ARE SAVED.IN A SINGLE F ILE UNDER THE FILENAME.YOU SPECIFY. THE SAVE"@0:XX" SYNTAX.IS USED SO YOU SHOUL D SAVE YOUR.PUZZLES ON A FORMATTED DISK THAT HAS.PLENTY OF ROOM... SO WHAT IS THE THEMESMITH OPTION?.WELL, THEMESMITH IS MY SNEAKY WAY OF.GETTING MY NAME ON THE SAME MARQUEE.AS BARBARA SCHULAK'S. I WROTE THE.THEMESMITH MODULE AND SENT I T TO BARB.AND SHE KINDLY INCLUDED IT IN HER.PROGRAM. WHAT IT DOES IS MAKE IT.EA SIER FOR YOU TO CONSTRUCT A.'THEMATIC' P UZZLE, WHICH IS WHAT MOST.MAJOR CRUCIVER BALISTS MAKE THESE.DAYS... A TRULY MO DERN PUZZLE WILL HAVE.AS MANY THEME WORD S IN IT AS.POSSIBLE. CHECK OUT BARBARA' S.PUZZLES ON THIS DISK FOR EXAMPLES OF.G OOD, THEMATIC PUZZLES. THEMESMITH.IS AC TUALLY A MINI-DATABASE FOR WORDS.THAT YO U MIGHT WANT TO ENTER INTO.YOUR THEMATIC PUZZLE... YOU BEGIN BY ENTERING AS M ANY.WORDS THAT YOU CAN THAT FIT YOUR.THE ME. YOU CAN SAVE, LOAD AND LIST.THE WOR DS YOU ENTER. IF YOU FIND.THAT YOU NEED A 10-LETTER WORD WITH.AN E FOR THE SIXT H LETTER, CHOOSE.FIND WORD FROM THE MENU AND ANSWER.THE PROMPTS AND ALL WORDS FR OM YOUR.LIST WILL BE SHOWN TO YOU.. I F YOU WANT TO HAVE A COUPLE OF.THEME WOR DS CROSSING EACH OTHER,.CHOOSE CROSS WOR DS FROM THE MENU AND.ANSWER THE PROMPTS AND IF YOU HAVE.TWO THEME WORDS THAT WIL L CROSS.CORRECTLY, THEY'LL BE SHOWN... MOST EXPERT CRUCIVERBALISTS PLACE.THEI R LONG THEME WORDS INTO THE.PUZZLE GRID FIRST, THEN TRY TO FILL.IN THE SHORTER, NON-THEMATIC WORDS.LAST. IF THE LONG WO RDS DON'T WORK.OUT, THERE'S NO SENSE IN SPENDING ANY.TIME WITH THE SHORT WORDS.. . WELL, ARE YOU UP TO CONSTRUCTING.YO UR OWN CROSSWORD PUZZLE? IF YOU.CAN MAK E ONE AS GOOD AS BARBARA'S,.YOU SHOULD F EEL VERY PROUD INDEED... THE CRUCIVER BALIST IS A PROGRAM.THAT I'VE WANTED TO PUBLISH EVER.SINCE I CAME TO LOADSTAR. WHEN I.SUGGESTED THE PROJECT TO BARBARA. SCHULAK I REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT SUCH A.GO OD PROGRAM SO SOON. I SHOULD NEVER.HAVE HAD ANY DOUBTS... IF YOU COME UP WIT H A PUZZLE THAT.YOU THINK SHOULD BE PUBL ISHED BY THE.NEW YORK TIMES, BY ALL MEAN S SEND IT.TO ME. WE PLAN TO PUBLISH THE BEST.WE GET ON FUTURE ISSUES OF LOADSTA R..WE'LL PAY MORE THAN THE AVERAGE.CROSS WORD PUBLISHER, IF IT'S REALLY.GOOD....D ISK FILES THIS PROGRAM USES..CRUCIVERBAL IST CROSS.FONT.XPLAYER.1 XD EFS.R.XCONSTRUCT.R T.CRUCIVERBALIS T.. **** END OF TEXT ****.
