Introduction
============
This distribution contains the crosswrd package by Brian Hamilton
-Kelly updated to run with LaTeX2e the standard LaTeX distribution.
+Kelly updated to run with LaTeX2e the standard LaTeX distribution,
+and extended in several ways, one of which Brian himself envisaged
+but did not live to complete. Brian died on 15th September 2005.
+
+Frank Mittelbach's comments and instructions (slightly updated)
+follow after the hline.
+
+I added support for several new features, including barred grids,
+mixed barred/blocked grids, rectangular grids, automatic clue number
+checking and more, and composed a hard cryptic in the Azed/Mephisto
+style demonstrating those.
+
+For the next few months I am willing to support the package.
+
+Enjoy!

+to add the names of the first few solvers to this README.
