PuzzleGetter is a utility for downloading various crosswords (National Post, LA Times, Cross Canada, Houston Chronicle) with a single mouse click.
The puzzles (saved in Across Lite format -- .puz) are then saved onto the desktop in an appropriately named file, such as NP_5/14/2003.puz (for a National Post crossword downloaded on May 14,2003), where the prefix names the source of the puzzle, and the rest of the name shows the date it was downloaded. To view the files that are downloaded, you must have an AcrossLite compatible crossword reading application (such as the MacXword application from Advenio Software).
Versuib 0.8 adds the following:
- added a user chosen default download folder; not just saved to the desktop anymore!
- puzzles can now be saved so that their default opening application is the freeware "Across Lite OS X" application (as found in the "readers" section)
- removed the USA Today crossword, as they are now distributing it in Flash format, not Across Lite. Bug the folks at USA Today if you want them to continue the Across Lite format.
- fixed problem with CrossCanada download (was getting puzzle from a previous week instead of the current puzzle)
- fixed problem with Sydney Morning Herald download that made the puzzle inaccessible on Saturday's
Mac OS X 10.2 or later, Across Lite compatible crossword reader.
