About CPT

The Crossword Power Tools (CPT) are programs for creation of crosswords, sudokus, and dictionaries from scratch. CPT modules are written in Java and in C (32-bit); the current programs can be run on PCs under Windows and Linux. The supported Java versions are from 1.1 and above. On 64-bit OS you should use 32-bit Java for the current versions of CPT applications.
