Thanks. This hadn't been uploaded to mathsource at the time of my original post. Also I hadn't made the connection between Paul Abbotts "in flight puzzle" and sudoku. There seems to be a few Mathematica solvers out there but no sudoku makers(???). The offer of a free MiER subscription still stands for an article describing both a sudoku maker and a sudoku solver.
