Steve, Dan, at al,

Many, MANY of these are available on UNNA ( http://www.unna.org ), I'm
pleased to say! I would start there. If anyone knows where to get more,
I'd love to know. I'm almost through all the ones challenging enough to
be any fun. ;)

Oh HELL yes. That would roxxor my boxxors...I'm a major x-word freak,
to the point where it completely eclipses any other entertainment
(including NewtBooks, Newtendo--sorry, Eagan...it DOES rock, tho!--or
what have you) I have loaded on my Newt at any given time. Having a
crossword app on the Newt capable of reading puzzles in a format that's
in actual current use would be well worth a reasonable shareware fee to
this grrl!
Also, though, if you've never used the Dell Crosswords package, Steve
(and I haven't used CrozzWord, so I dunno its capabilities), I highly
recommend you do...it's got a wonderfully "Newt-like" interface, keeps
your partial puzzles as current as the last character entered as well
as a nice scoring mechanism. If CrozzWord can already perform
similarly, please disregard, but if not, well...it couldn't hurt. ;-)
Ta!
