| INTRODUCTION |
----------------
The following files are distributed with Cap2WP.
CAP2WP.COM provides an easy way to copy displayed screens
directly to a document on disk, ready for later
retrieval by a word processor. It is a memory
resident utility for the IBM PC family of computers,
allowing 'snap-shots' to be taken during other
programs' operation. Screens are copied to
WordPerfect or ASCII format file.
PATTERN.EXE provides a work-out test pattern for Cap2WP. It
displays the extended character set, lines, boxes,
coloured panels and high-lighted text. This display
can demonstrate and test Cap2WP's abilities. Type
"PATTERN" at the DOS prompt, and CAPTURE it.
CONFIG.EXE configures the operation of Cap2WP. A menu of the
adjustable features is shown, with the current
values of each displayed beside it. A help screen
will appear for each item being changed.
MANUAL.TXT this manual in ASCII text format, displayed by
typing "TYPE MANUAL.TXT | MORE"
printed by typing "PRINT MANUAL.TXT".
INSTALL.EXE installs files and optionally modifies AUTOEXEC.BAT
to load Cap2WP into memory at boot-up.
ORDER.FRM printable order form (type "print order.frm")
----------------
| INSTALLATION |
----------------
To INSTALL the files, place the distribution diskette into drive
A (or B) and type "A(or B):INSTALL" [enter]. Follow the on-screen
prompts. Upon completion, CONFIG will be run to show and set the
operating features.
- - OR - - -
You may manually install Cap2WP.
1) Make a directory on the destination drive. MD \CAP2WP
2) Copy the files from the distribution diskette to the
destination drive and directory. COPY A:*.* C:\CAP2WP
INSTALL.EXE may be deleted. DEL C:\CAP2WP\INSTALL.EXE
3) Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to add the new directory to the
PATH statement. If you wish to always load Cap2WP at
start-up, add the command line. C:Cap2WP
4) Change to the new directory. CD C:\CAP2WP
5) Run Config to set the operating features. CONFIG
------------
| Cap2WP |
------------
Load Cap2WP into memory by typing "Cap2WP" at the DOS prompt, or
by including the line "CAP2WP.COM" in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This
may have been done during INSTALL. As with all memory-resident
programs, do not load during an application's temporary "exit or
shell to DOS" process. Only 3k of system memory will be
occupied.
Activate Cap2WP by holding down the [Ctrl] key while you press
and release the [PRINT SCREEN] key. If you have changed this
'hot-key' using CONFIG, use your new combination.
The screen will be read, interpreted to WordPerfect (or ASCII)
format, and written to a file named 'IMAGE.DOC' in the current
disk's root directory, e.g. C:\IMAGE.DOC. If you are logged on to
a diskette, Cap2WP will attempt to write 'IMAGE.DOC' there.
A high beep indicates creation of 'IMAGE.DOC' on the disk.
A low beep indicates that IMAGE.DOC already exists and the
current screen is being appended to that same file.
A medium beep indicates that screen capture is complete.
WordPerfect format documents will be created with 12 pitch to
allow an 80 column screen to fit within a normal 8 1/2 inch page
width. Margins are set to 1 inch and 1/2 inch. This can be
altered later within the word processor.
ASCII format files will have no margins or modifiers. Using
WordPerfect output format, the full screen is written as is with
line and box drawing characters preserved. Characters displayed on
the screen with high intensity will receive the bold attribute.
Coloured areas of the screen can be assigned any one of the
WordPerfect attributes.
Unload Cap2WP by retyping its name at the DOS prompt (not during
an application's temporary "exit or shell to DOS" process).
Memory-resident programs must be unloaded in the reverse order to
which they were loaded.
------------
| CONFIG |
------------
Type "CONFIG" at the DOS prompt if you wish to alter any of
Cap2WP's features. If CONFIG successfully finds Cap2WP and all of
its configuration 'markers', a menu will appear with the current
settings displayed to the right of each item. Failure to start
indicates that the DOS PATH should be changed or you must run
CONFIG after changing to the directory where the files were
installed.
An arrow and high-light bar can be moved using the up and down
arrow keys. Pick the item to be changed by pressing [enter]. Read
the help pop-up text and respond to the prompt displayed there.
The new setting will be displayed beside the menu when complete.
Changes will come into effect after loading (or removing and re-
loading) Cap2WP into memory.
Config: CAP2WP's Customizer

| Screen areas with a coloured background | |NORMAL |
| will have one of these attributes applied | |REDLINED |
| to that area of the document. | |SHADOWED |
| 'REDLINED' text will print with a shaded | |SMALL CAPS|

press [ENTER]
This screen was capture in pure ASCII mode.
In the example above, the attribute to be applied to coloured
areas of the screen is chosen from a pick list by using the up and
down arrows, and pressing [ENTER].
The 'Save and/or Exit' option allows you to Save the current
settings, Quit without saving, or press any other key to resume at
the menu. Config directly modifies Cap2WP.COM with the new
settings - no need for command line arguments or a configuration
file.
--------------------
| TROUBLE SHOOTING |
--------------------
The PC must be in text mode (modes 2, 3 or 7) for Cap2WP to load
or activate. WordPerfect provides a screen capture utility called
"GRAB" for graphics modes.
Some memory resident programs change interrupt vectors and execute
only their own alternate interrupt handlers. Cap2WP will execute
any previously loaded routine(s) first, then itself. Cap2WP should
be loaded after network or other memory-resident programs.
Hot-keys are combinations of keys having altered meanings. Many
BIOSes do not support all possible key combinations. Further
still, applications may re-define key combinations at will and
reset them upon exit. Cap2WP and CONFIG directly examine the Shift,
Control and Alt keys and the key's scan code to provide
combinations not conventionally available. The Ctrl-PrintScreen
combination (a DOS function) may cause problems if pressed while
Cap2WP is not in memory. An alternate may be desirable. Use CONFIG
to change this feature.
The output format may be changed to ASCII. Cap2WP will translate
the special characters, used for line and box drawing, to typewriter
characters which can be sent directly to a printer.
If you choose Extended ASCII output format, special characters will
remain as seen on the screen. However, many printers will not print
these characters properly, and some applications cannot directly
import them as seen.
-----------------------
| SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS |
-----------------------
Any IBM PC or compatible with DOS 2.0 or above. Approximately
3 kbytes of memory is consumed by Cap2WP. Monitors must be in
text mode during program load and screen Cap2WP. MDA, HERCULES,
CGA, EGA and VGA screens may be used.
