				| When I play puzzles other than what gets posted here, I usually play Vanhegans. Normally, I'd like to play more Menneskes, but I tend to avoid them because they're so hard to replace, i.e., it takes about 20 clicks to get a puzzle I want.

 Yes, but I do not know how to electronically capture (copy) a VanHegan.  So, they are much harder to share than Menneskes.

 I don't usually share the Vanhegans, I just print them, four to a page, eight to a sheet.

				| If you view the source page containing the Vanhegan puzzle, you'll find a line near the bottom that looks like this: 
 saveState( "clues", "-4-82-7---8--4--965-29-68----3---9-271-----848-9---3----43-71-919--5--3---8-19-2-" );

 If you install jsudoku  http://jcbonsai.free.fr/sudoku/ you can load the daily Menneske puzzles directly ( using fetch ) and print them or whatever.

 Danny, thank you for the tip on the Vanhegans.  It works for me, now I have to remember!
 
 The Menneske puzzles can easily be copied and pasted into Sudoku Susser and, I believe, Nataraj' format tool.

				| Another approach is SudoCue, which has an option to retrieve assorted puzzles including VanHegan.
