Crossword Generator

[Mark Swindell]

I was just wondering if anyone here had created such a beast.  It  
seems like a product Rev might be good for.  I'm looking to purchase  
one, actually, to use in the classroom, as well as to integrate into  
a curriculum package that will be an adjunct to a Rev product I'm  
working on.   For educational needs it needn't be a NY Times type  
thing.  Just a well-thought, professional generator where the user  
types in the clues and words and the puzzlemaker creates a puzzle.   
It should have font and size capabilities, as well as background  
images/patterns/colors.   After generation, each element should be  
resizable and  movable so the user can set up a nice-looking custom  
page for printout. (Basically five elements: down clues, across  
clues, answers, bg image/rect, and puzzle itself).  Printing is a  
must, export to PDF, jpg, other options.
