Release notes
-------------
This distribution contains the source code for Countdown Number
Solver.  Two versions are included: a GUI version compatible with
Windows 95 and above, and a command line version.

The Windows GUI version provides the following new features over
version 1.1:

- A facility for generating a random Countdown numbers game, with a
choice of how many of the big numbers (25, 50, 75 and 100) are
included.

- The ability to copy the list of solutions to the clipboard.

- The window can be resized to show more solutions at a time.


The command line version is cross-platform.  It currently doesn't
include any of the extra features of the GUI version.


Also available is a binary distribution of the Windows GUI version.


Building it
-----------
The program is written in D - see http://www.digitalmars.com/d/.  A
makefile has been provided to build the executable.

To build the GUI version you will need SDWF, which can be obtained
