Introduction
============

This distribution contains the crosswrd package by Brian Hamilton
Kelly updated to run with LaTeX2e the standard LaTeX distribution.

I did change a bit of the coding to allow typesetting an unlimited
number of crosswords and also added two new commands

\DOWNtext and \ACROSStext 

that contain the heading texts for the clues. Thus this will allow you
to use the macros in a language environment other than English.

Installation
============

to unpack run

   latex crosswrd.ins

to install place crosswrd.sty into dir searched by LaTeX

to produce documentation (after unpacking) run

   latex crosswrd.dtx

to produce examples (after unpacking) run
