I managed to load up xword once, but now it won't run.
I think I messed it up by accidentally loading a puzzle in palm db format instead of .puz. I assume that xword doesn't run anymore because the program remembers that Palm OS file as the most recent puzzle? If so, can this be cleared out by simply clearing the appropriate file (again I assume it's a file internal to xword and not the original puzzle file itself)?

Thanks, it works well now. (Only the first xterm line was necessary...)

Thank you everyone for the feedback and especially to Terrence for his code and getting these releases out.
The next thing that needs fixing is to make it load a puzzle automatically when clicking on a .puz file. I think this just means having a correct .desktop and .service file, which I have tried to do, but somehow it still doesn't work for me.
After that I want to have a built-in browser, so when you have a whole bunch of puzzles downloaded, you can select one by title and maybe percentage completed.

First of all, thanks VERY much to btb for starting this entire xword project and for coming up with some excellent modifcations!
Here are two things I've added for the next release:

Here are two things I've added for the next release:
- Since there was space in the new keyboard layout, I added two new buttons for "check word" and "solve word".
- For those of us with old eyes, I added a new Preferences option to set the minimum box size between 12 and 40. (In v.1.0.4, it was hardcoded to 20.)

It's a lot of fun.So you mean like when you use the File Manager to browse a directory and "open" a .puz file?

btb: there is a new post from pipeline, offering this very functionality.
see: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=17757
then, just set up the association with the mime type for *.puz files, and we should be golden...

Hooray!!! I finally got the garage page figured out. v.1.0.5 can be downloaded from there.
Two changes to the program:
Also, I made a new thread for the official announcement.

rab it and get it installed on the tablet this morning...
Then again, I never understood why Litsoft wasted programmer time writing in a pen and pencil option which does nothing other than (slightly) change the color of the "ink"... :shrug:

Thanks for the updated update! I'll grab it and get it installed on the tablet this morning...
