v3.0 first public release for DOS (named Puzzler).

 ==================================================================

                                 BACKGROUND

The original idea came from Tom Vogt, a teacher in Clinton Wisconsin.

Version 1.0 was released in 1984 for the TRS-80 Color Computer. It was 
written in assembly language and was published by Color Connection Software.

Version 2.0 followed in 1985, also for the Color Computer and had an 
improved crossword algorithm.

From 1986 - 1988 the author was called to serve in Japan as an LDS 
missionary. At this time Color Connection Software was closed, and not long 
afterwards, the Color Computer itself faded into relative oblivion.

In 1989 Puzzler's crossword algorithm was converted into the C language and 
compiled to run under DOS on the IBM PC. Until 1992, Puzzler for DOS could 
only display crosswords on the screen, and wasn't released publicly.

In 1992 Tom Vogt offered to fund further development of Puzzler for DOS, and 
in 1993 he became the first beta tester of the full DOS program. In 1994 the 
crossword output routines were rewritten to automatically size the boxes and 
text to fit on one page.

During the first part of 1995, improvements were made to the word search and 
word scramble printouts, and Puzzler for DOS was prepared for its first 
public release.
