- DC ASCII Dump v1.0
-
- Copyright (c) 1991 Double Click Software
-
- Program by Keith Gerdes and Michael B. Vederman
-
- DC ASCII Dump v1.0 is a FREEWARE program. A FREEWARE program is one which you may
- freely distribute, but you cannot charge for it or alter the program or
- contents of the documentation in any manner. Double Click Software retains
- all copyright exclusive rights except exclusive distribution.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- DC ASCII Dump prints the text seen on the screen to either a printer or a file
- while in either TOS or GEM mode.
-
- In TOS mode, it's "almost instaneous" at figuring out the viewable text.
-
- In GEM mode, it's "a little rough but usable." The algorithm would need
- a lot of polishing and then too much computation time to do a true
- representation- but hey... If you are interested in a 100% perfect text
- dump of a GEM screen, you better let us know.

-
-
- =========================
- Configuring DC ASCII Dump
- =========================
-
- DC ASCII Dump has two things to configure:
-
- a) Where to save screen dumps when dumping to file
- b) How to dump the screen - file or printer
-
- >To configure where DC ASCII Dump saves files:
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- 1) Run DCADUMPF.PRG. An alert box will appear.
-
- 2) Click on the CONFIG button. The file selector will appear.
-
- 3) Choose the directory to dump files to. If you click on OK, the directory
- is saved back to the program. If you click on Cancel, the info is NOT
- saved to the program.
-
- >To configure whether DC ASCII Dump dumps to file or the printer:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) Rename DCADUMPF.PRG to DCADUMP?.PRG
-
- where ? is:
- F to output to file - the file will be saved to the directory you
- configured above, using the name: ASC_DUMP.x, where x is A-Z
- P to output to printer
-
-

- Using DC ASCII Dump
- ===================
-
- >To activate DC ASCII Dump:
- ---------------------------
- *) Press <CONTROL>+<ALTERNATE>+<HELP> if you are in a TOS program or 'SHOWing'
- text.
-
- *) Press <CONTROL>+<ALTERNATE>+<RIGHT SHIFT>+<HELP> if you are in a GEM
- program or at the desktop.

-
-
- =========================
- DC ASCII Dump Limitations
- =========================
- DC ASCII Dump will dump all text prefectly from a TOS program/screen.
-
- DC ASCII Dump may have problems recognizing characters in a GEM program,
- especially text in buttons or centered dialog boxes. This has to do with
- the way DC ASCII Dump parses the screen (if it didn't, you could be waiting
- a _very_ long time for the dump).
