   Across Lite's pages and access to linux .gz downloads are here:   
      
   http://www.litsoft.com/across/alite/download/man/helpfram.htm      
      
   There is a linux dl for elf binary motif   
   http://www.litsoft.com/across/alite/download.htm  acrossl.tar.gz   
   linuxdyn/acrossl.tar.gz Linux (x86) w/ Motif lib   
   linuxsta/acrossl.tar.gz  Linux (x86) w/o Motif lib   
      
   Then, besides the Across Lite stuff, there's xword which is up to v. 1   
   now.   
      
   http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/Puzzle/xword-21359.shtml   
   xword is a crossword puzzle application that allows users to open and   
   solve AcrossLite puzzle format files (such as The New York Times and The   
   Washington Post).   
      
   http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/X-word-Download-15446.html   
   X-word 1.0 - FREE DOWNLOAD - at http://x-word.org/xword-1.0.tar.gz   
      
   None of those are in the ub repositories already, nor can I find a .deb   
   package for the .gz.   
      
   So, someone with some experience will have to step in here and advise   
   you about what do do with the Across Lite or xword .gz packages.   
      
   Besides there not being any .deb package, there's also not any   
   CNR/Linspire type packages I can find.
