The SHAREWARE version of Picture Puzzler is identical to the registered version with the following exceptions.  The intro message when starting Picture Puzzler (ppuz.exe) contains a Shareware Notification message.  The Shareware version can only load .BMP bitmap images.  With the licensed version you also may use .JPG, .PCX, TGA, TIF, .BMP and other graphic image formats.  The licensed version also is shipped with several sample image puzzle images and the custom puzzle type function is not active in the Shareware version. All other functions of Picture Puzzler are identical to the registered version.  

We've included some sample .bmp bitmap images for your use.  You may use any bitmap image (.BMP) in Picture Puzzler.  In addition to the bitmap images, there are three wave files (yes.wav, no.wav and win.wav) that are used by Picture Puzzler.  If you wish to have sound when playing Picture Puzzler, be sure to keep these wave files in the Puzzler application directory.
