  2. Credits
       Crossword Express
    Jolly useful bit of shareware/nagware for creating and filling grids.
    I'll get round to sending the author some money when I have some.
       Leslie Gale (Editor)
    For accepting the crosswords for the Mag, thus giving me a reason to keep writing them.
    For pointing out the idiot mistakes.
    For encouragement, when I'm on the right track.
    For moaning, on the frequent occasions that I succumb to wild flights of fancy.
       rec.puzzles.crosswords FSCC competition
    That's where the intermezzi crosswords first appeared, under the nom-de-plume of Paul Berriman.
    The competition's manager defines the grid and places one word in it,
    the entrant fills the rest, themed or unthemed as they choose.
    Some of the clues have been revised after reading the wise reviewer's comments.
       HTML 4 Dummies
    For the obvious reason
       The traditional disclaimer
    All mistakes are somebody else's.


  3. Hardware used
    • Addled brain.
    • Positively antique Mac - almost all the crossword creation.
    • Merely vintage PC - with HTML editor and viewer.
    • Top-o'-the-line brother-in-law's PC - for web access, what a nice man.


  4. Caution
    • Older crosswords are typed back in from the magazines
      Newer ones come from my records, which were not necessarily updated to match edits that went into the magazine.
      Either way, errors may appear that are not in the magazine


  5. Updates
    • July:- Rewrote most of the prose.
    • July/August:-Formatted and loaded the archives.
    • August:-Added the intermezzi.


  6. Things in the pipeline
    • New crosswords as they appear.
    • Tidy up the HTML. Pretty up the appearance. Make up more lies like the last two.
