Yes, another Sudoku program... :o)

(click on picture to enlarge)
(Sudoku puzzle use on this screenshot is from Gordon Royle's collection (#13316 of 32930))
So, this program can :
- Load and save puzzles.
- Display automatically all possible "candidates" for each block.
- Help you to fill out the puzzle (the program warns you, if it detects incoherences).
- Solve puzzles.
- Print your own puzzles (See how it looks once printed (pdf - 22ko)).
Sudoku Burst is a program compatible with windows. This program has been tested on the following operating systems : Windows XP and Windows 2000 (thanks to Loubna for the beta-testing). It must work with others recent (decent ?) windows versions.
In the zip file, you'll find too some puzzles store in text format files with a ".sud" extension. You can see it and edit with a simple text editor, but you don't need it normally.
Example (1.9.5.sud file) : .18...7.....3..2...7...........71...6......4.3........4..5....3.2..8...........6.
The figures juste before extension (.sud) give you the level of difficulty of the puzzle. 1.9.5.sud is a very hard puzzle for a human being ! :o)
