Title: Across Lite....GRRRRR!
Post by: ghostrunnerassembly on June 15, 2010, 12:52:10 AM
Hello!
I'm brand new here.  I'm an amateur constructor who was recommended both this site and across lite.  My first post is regarding across lite.  I would love some counsel regarding this seemingly fickle and tedious construction software.  And if anyone knows about Crossdown, that would be great as well. 
Thanks and I hope I can provide some utility for others on this site.
Kevin.

I wouldn't consider AcrossLite to be software to aid in crossword construction.  It's super as a tool for delivering a constructed puzzle to an audience, but not for constructing the puzzle.  I don't know anything about Crossdown, but I've used Crossword Compiler for years and find it extremely useful.

Sepreus, you should not be making all these posts at the end other people's questions, to which they are not related.  If you want people to critique the puzzles on your website, you should just start one new thread.  Adding your message over and over to other people's posts is considered spamming.  I have critiqued your puzzle in your original post, which is at the end of the thread on three-letter words.

I'm also new to crossword construction. Maybe by the time you read this you'll have made a decision about Crossdown vs Crossword Compiler. I ran across Crossdown first so I bought it. I've used it for a few months and have found it both helpful and useful. But the strong recommendation from experienced constructors is Compiler. (I will get it soon.)
