- WHAT DO ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS DO?
-
- Here is a quick explanation of what the programs in your GRABBER
- directory can do.
-
-
- PRINTDOC.BAT A simple program which lets you print any documentation
- file to your DOS default printer. To use it, type
- PRINTDOC followed by the name of the .DOC file you want
- to print. For example: PRINTDOC GRABBER.DOC ┘
-
- VIEW.EXE A simple text file viewer that lets you browse any of
- the various documentation files quickly and easily on
- your screen. To use it, type VIEW followed by the name
- of the .DOC file you want to browse. For example:
- VIEW GRABBER.DOC ┘
-
- GRABBER.EXE A memory-resident screen capture program. At the touch
- of a key, it will save a screen image to a standalone
- .EXE file on your disk. (To view that screen later,
- just enter the name of the .EXE file to which it was
- saved.) To use it, type GRABBER followed by the name
- of the directory where you want it to put the captured
- .EXE files. For example: GRABBER C:\PICTURES ┘
- (View or print the GRABBER.DOC file for information
- about GRABBER.EXE's many installation options.)
-
- GR4AI.EXE A memory-resident screen capture program. It works
- just like GRABBER.EXE, capturing screens to standalone
- .EXE files. However, it is designed exclusively for
- capturing graphics screens from systems that are com-
- patible with the IBM 8514/A Adapter Interface standard.
- To use it, type GR4AI followed by the name of the
- directory where you want it to put the captured .EXE
- files. For example: GR4AI C:\PICTURES ┘ (View or
- print the GR4AI.DOC file for information about
- GR4AI.EXE's many installation options.)
-
- GRPCX.EXE A memory-resident screen capture program. At the touch
- of a key, it will save any text or graphics screen
- image to a .PCX file on your disk. (PCX files can be
- used by most word processing, desktop publishing and
- graphics programs for MS-DOS or Windows.) To use it,
- type GRPCX followed by the name of the directory where
- you want it to put the captured .PCX files. For exam-
- ple: GRPCX C:\PICTURES ┘ (View or print the
- GRPCX.DOC file for information about GRPCX.EXE's many
- installation options.)
-
- GRTXT.EXE A memory-resident screen capture program. At the touch
- of a key, it will save any character-based text screen
- image to a plain "ASCII" text file on your disk. To
- use it, type GRTXT followed by the name of the directo-
- ry where you want it to put the captured .TXT files.
- For example: GRTXT C:\PICTURES ┘ (View the
- GRTXT.DOC file for information about GRTXT.EXE's many
- installation options.)
-
- GR2PCX.EXE Not to be confused with "GRPCX.EXE" above, this program
- will take an .EXE image file that was captured by the
- GRABBER.EXE program and convert it to a .PCX file.
- This program requires GRABBER.EXE to be resident in
- memory. To use it, type GR2PCX followed by the name of
- the file you want to convert. For example: GR2PCX
- SCREEN00.EXE ┘ (View or print the CONVERT.DOC file
- for information about GR2PCX.EXE's options.)
-
- GR2GIF.EXE This program will take an .EXE image file that was
- captured by the GRABBER.EXE program and convert it to a
- .GIF file. This program requires GRABBER.EXE to be
- resident in memory. To use it, type GR2GIF followed by
- the name of the file you want to convert. For example:
- GR2GIF SCREEN00.EXE ┘ (View or print the CONVERT.DOC
- file for information about GR2GIF.EXE's options.)
-
- GRAI2PCX.EXE This program will take an .EXE image file that was
- captured by the GR4AI.EXE program and convert it to a
- .PCX file. This program requires GR4AI.EXE to be
- resident in memory. To use it, type GRAI2PCX followed
- by the name of the file you want to convert. For
- example: GRAI2PCX SCREEN00.EXE ┘ (View or print the
- CONVERT.DOC file for information about GRAI2PCX.EXE's
- options.)
-
- GRAI2GIF.EXE This program will take an .EXE image file that was
- captured by the GR4AI.EXE program and convert it to a
- .GIF file. This program requires GR4AI.EXE to be
- resident in memory. To use it, type GRAI2GIF followed
- by the name of the file you want to convert. For
- example: GRAI2GIF SCREEN00.EXE ┘ (View or print the
- CONVERT.DOC file for information about GRAI2GIF.EXE's
- options.)
-
- GR2ASCII.EXE This program will take an .EXE image file that was
- captured by the GRABBER.EXE program and convert it to a
- plain ASCII text file with a .TXT filename extension.
- (This program only works with character-based text
- images, not with graphics images.) To use it, type
- GR2ASCII followed by the name of the file you want to
- convert. For example: GR2ASCII SCREEN00.EXE ┘
- (View or print the CONVERT.DOC file for more informa-
- tion about GR2ASCII.EXE.)
-
- GR2ANSI.EXE This program will take an .EXE image file that was
- captured by the GRABBER.EXE program and convert it to
- an ANSI text file with an .ANS filename extension.
- (This program only works with character-based text
- images, not with graphics images.) To use it, type
- GR2ANSI followed by the name of the file you want to
- convert. For example: GR2ANSI SCREEN00.EXE ┘ (View
- or print the CONVERT.DOC file for more information
- about GR2ANSI.EXE.)
-
- GREDIT.DOC This program lets you edit the contents of an .EXE
- image file that was captured by the GRABBER.EXE pro-
- gram. (This program only works with character-based
- text images, not with graphics images.) This program
- requires GRABBER.EXE to be resident in memory. To use
- it, type GREDIT followed by the name of the file you
- want to edit. For example: GREDIT SCREEN00.EXE ┘
- (Once inside GREDIT, press Alt-H for help. View or
- print the GREDIT.DOC file for more information about
- how to use GREDIT.EXE.)
-
- CHKVBE.EXE This program checks your system for VESA ("Video Elec-
- tronic Standards Association") video BIOS compatibili-
- ty. If you have a Super-VGA video adapter that is
- supplied together with a memory-resident VESA driver,
- it is recommended that you load that driver in memory
- before loading GRABBER.EXE or GRPCX.EXE, because it is
- generally easier for these programs to capture high-
- resolution Super-VGA graphics screens when VESA support
- is present. (View or print the GRABBER.DOC or
- GRPCX.DOC files for more information about VESA and
- Super-VGA configurations.)
