Hi Angus. Have been using the program for several versions now -- great program, well-implemented, and you seem to be able to implement new features so quickly. I'm truly impressed.

There's one feature that would make the program even more useful to me. Bizarrely it's an option that would remove some of the 'clever' functionality in the program. What I'd like to be able to do is to use the program to solve a puzzle without any aids, but to be able to record candidates (rather than exclude them). i.e. given a new puzzle, I'd like the option to be able to record candidates in each cell as well as (later) exclude them.

What do you think? Coming up with a simple user-interface for this might be the most challenging part.

Graham

Thanks Graham.

I'm not likely to do that unless I'm swamped with requests for it.
