OMW Introduction

The purpose of this package is to let the user simply create word bases, and then generate cross-word puzzle grids from these bases.

Starting from scratch, the user must find a list of words to feed into OMW (ex: try /usr/dict/words renamed to xxx.txt), modify the words definitions as needed, create the grid, print the grid.

Once launched, OMW displays the following window. All work may be done from the action menu which currently holds threy sub-menus: Configuration, Puzzle, and Word Management.

1. Configuration currently sets the grid size.

2. New opens the windows necessary to create the grids.

3. Open opens an existing(saved grid) for modification.

4. Word Management allows the creation of new bases, the addition/subtraction of words from a base, the modification words definitions.
