Sudokut - version 0.7

Sudokut is a solver of sudoku puzzles. It is a command line tool,
so there is no graphic interface: it is executed as a command from a
terminal window. Basically, you give it a sudoku string or a sudoku file as
an argument and it returns the solution. If a sudoku problem does not have
a unique solution, it returns all the possible solutions.

If you specify the -e option, the command explains in great details the
resolution process.

Sudokut is a script that you execute from the shell. It is written
internally in Tcl (the Tool Command Language), so it should work on any
platform (Unix, Mac OS X, Windows) provided a Tcl interpeter is installed
(this is normally the case by default on Unix and Mac OS X). You do not 
have to know anything about this language: just execute the command in a 
terminal window.

The sudokut command accepts many options which implement various features
(explaining the resolution process, checking validity, suggesting the next
move, probing a specific technique, rating, displaying candidates, etc.).
The help file coming with the script contains a complete description of the
syntax and lots of examples. 

Sudokut is fast: if no explanations are required, it takes only a few
milliseconds to solve a sudoku. It uses an efficient algorithm which
guarantees to find all the solutions.

Sudokut is a 'free software'. It is distributed under a BSD
