=== Availabilty Notice for PMCAMERA 1.24 ===
============================================

Requirements:
-------------
- This version of PMCAMERA requires at least OS/2 1.2
- for the PSEG38PP file the PBIN2PSE EXEC from the PBRUSHUT PACKAGE on
PCTOOLS is required. Issue the following command on a VM host to get
this exec:
TOOLS SENDTO PLKSK PCTOOLS PCTOOLS GET PBIN2PSE EXEC
Abstract:
---------
PMCamera has the ability to take screen shots of OS/2 Presentation Manager
screens, screen parts or windows. The taken pictures may be saved in
OS/2 BMP (1.1) file format, PSEG38PP or PostScript format.
It may also be put into the Cliboard for use by other applications.
BMP files are saved in a 1.1 format with 8, 4 or 1 bit(s) per pixel
depending on the display capabilites.
PSE files are binary equivalent to PSEG38PP or PSEG3820 files on the host.
They are especially useful for inclusion into BookMaster Documents. To
include them into host documents, upload the .pse file binary to the host
and convert them into a real PSEG38PP or PSEG3820 by using the PBIN2PSE
EXEC (PSEG38PP and PSEG3820 files are identical, they can be converted into
each other by renaming).
To generate a PSE file, a halftoning process has to be applied. It is possible
to select among 4 types (Diagonal, Diamond, Circle and Square) and
three sizes (4x4, 6x6 and 8x8) of dither matrices.
The output may be scaled by an arbitrary factor between 0.1 and 10.0
during the halftone operation. This process takes quite some time.
PostScript are generated as color image, black and white image of by using a
special technique, where each pixel is mapped to a colored square. The special
technique is useful when it is not clear whether a color printer is available
or not (Note: this may however require several hours to print large images!).
The PostScript file can be generated in two flavors: PS which is printable, and
EPS which is for inclusion into other PostScript files (e.g. via Page Maker).
They may be scaled by an arbitrary factor between 0.01 and 10.00 or fit to the
page (the program determines the scaling factor). Optionally the picture can
be rotated (Landscape) by 90 degrees if needed.
How to install:
---------------
Download the PMCAMERA HLPBIN, PMCAMERA DLLBIN and PMCAMERA EXEBIN files
to any directory you like and make sure that the PMCAMERA.DLL file lies
somewhere on your LIBPATH.
The following table describes the files. The CONFIG.SYS column
indicates which symbols must be changed to include access to the
location where you have installed PMCAMERA.

You can add an entry for PMCAMERA in a Desktop Manager Group. Be sure to
specify the complete path where you've placed PMCAMERA.EXE.
PMCAMERA supports the following cmd line syntax:
PMCAMERA [/option] [/option] ...
The options are:
/PATH=... to choose the path for the file to be saved
/FILE=... to choose the filename of the file to be saved
(a file name of the form XXXXXXnn will take
XXXXXX as the name and nn as the initial
file number)
/NONBR supresses incremntal file numbering
/FULL or /PART or /ACTive grab the full screen, a part of it or
the active window

/PSPS or /PSEPs save as printable (PS) file or as one for
inclusion into other PostScript files (EPS)
/PSLAndscape or /PSPOrtrait enable/disable rotation of picture by 90 degrees
/PSCOlor, /PSBW or /PSBOth save in Color PostScript, PostScript (black and
white) or a special form which uses squares to
represent pixels and prints on either color or
black and white printers (however very slow)
