@ obelix:

I looked into your code and found out that "var s = stream.readline()" in "checkSudokuFiles" returns 40,000.
Without more reading I devided 40,000 by 81 (3 x 3 x 3 sudoku fields) and got:
506.17283951 (edit: "." instead of European ",")
...which didn't seem to make much sense.

When I looked around a bit in your files I got the idea to look how many puzzles are in the *.tpl files. "Simple.tpl" actually has 500 - so I looked closer at the code and saw that "var i" actually is expexted to be "s.length==81" plus ONE.

So I had an obvious connection as 41,000 devided by 81+1 is 500 (puzzles).
Today I was out of house with my family and had the opportunity NOT to think about code lines - and when we came back I realized that my *.tpl files were considered by SONY-PRS to contain ONE huge line each.
I changed line breaks to "UNIX" style and Sudoku does

*** W * O * R * K * !!! ***

I'm almost happy! I will look more closely into your code and do a few changes to make it more comfortable (to my humble taste...).

Again: Thanks a lot for your great work!!!
