I'll try to make this brief:

Anacrostics
This may be a new kind of puzzle for you.  They're like crossword puzzles but you're solving a quotation instead.  The quote reads from left to right.  You get the letters by solving the questions below then inserting the letters from them into the quote grid. The Help screen tells all.

This program is not a puzzle game itself; it's a puzzle-maker.  Give it a try and I think you'll find creating these puzzles as addictive as solving them.

Publish a Puzzle
That's right.  If you send us a decent anacrostic, it will go on EntryPoints web site.  Send them via email, snail mail, or FAX it.  See the appropriate numbers below.  (Psst: if you elect to email it, the best way would be to go to the Print menu and choose Save as a file from the print dialog.  Then attach the file with your email.)

Check out EntryPoints, our web site
Better yet, check out EntryPoints for more details about anacrostics (and many other topics):  WWW.ENTRYPOINTS.COM

Help!
Help is a great way to find out about anacrostics.  You'll find not only how-to info about creating puzzles, but also excellent tips on how to write clues, get clever quotations to work with, etc. 

Limitation of Shareware version
The version of Anacrostics you have downloaded does everything except print out solveable puzzles.  It will print out finished puzzles but with the answers in them.   You could, if you wanted to save money, grab the White Out and start cleaning up.  Or you could use some other method via screen shots and cutting and pasting to cobble together a puzzle for others to solve.

Or you could just register this copy. It's quick, easy, and cheap.  Choose "Register Copy" from the help menu to do that.

Dictionary
Make sure you try out the Dictionary button: it makes creating anacrostics a million percent easier (and that's no exaggeration).

Teachers take note:
A word to you teachers:  we have plans for a number of programs that help you produce unique, fun worksheets (it's not an oxymoron...and we'll prove it) in a jiffy.  Our number one priority: make it print out on just one page!  If you've spent as much time standing in front of a copy machine as most teachers have, Ya gotta love that"

Future Plans
Country Road Software is a small-time operation but we've got plans for other novel puzzle-creating software (like Droplines).  All these great ideas will come to pass when enough of you have registered your copy.

Happy puzzling!
