Changes:
ShowPuzzle gets call only after a word is inserted in the grid.
Added a check if unixdict.txt was found.
Made FilePuzzle print to the file.
If enough words are found but there where still spaces, fill them with random letters.
FILLED was not set to FALSE every time Initialize was called.
Set all integer to (U)long.
