BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR
Scan & Clip
It works like this (NOTE - a test document is on your
desktop, SCLtest):
1. You have installed SCLaltm.fw3 as {ALT-S} in your
Library. Now you want to scan a frame or long formula to produce
a report consisting of clips from that frame that contains (only)
all parts of the original document that meet your search
criteria.
Start with an un-nested WORD frame or the included test
file named SCLtest.fw3 (Which has been loaded on your desktop).
Read SCLdoc.fw3 before you scan any other type frame or a
formula.
2. Place the cursor on the outer most (i.e. highest level)
label of the document to be scanned.
3. Press the {alt-key} combination (ALT-S). If the main
program module has been loaded (probably not, on your first run),
then the program will run. If the main program module is not on
the desktop (which it probably is not, if you are reading these
basic instructions), the first press of {ALT-S} will install it
and you will have to press {alt-S} a second time to run the
program.
4. There are two early prompts (three, if an outline is
being scanned) that can be reduced to one, see Setup, Section 2.2
in SCLdoc.fw3). Answer the prompts. The rest is automatic. The
program will report its progress so you can tell if it hangs.
5. First, you are asked to enter the search criteria. Start
with something simple and that you know appears in the frame
being scanned, but which is not too common. For your trial run
you will want a quick report. If you use SCLtest.fw3 for your
trial run, search for "meet*" (without the quotes).
6. Then you are prompted to enter the capture block size.
This is the number above and below the line of each hit that will
be clipped with the hit, to give the hit context. E.g. "5", clips
11 lines. Again, to keep your trial run fast, start with a small
number, say 3.
7. Sit back, the rest is automatic. Prompt line changes keep
you informed about what the program is doing and the current
number of hits. Depending on your hardware, even a large word
frame is scanned and clipped rapidly. My clunky Compaq Deskpro
straining under the load of EGA color graphics and several files
on the desktop, scanned and clipped a random 6K document with 9
"hits" in 1min. 20sec. My Toshiba 1000SE scanned and clipped
scltest.fw3 (about 23K) on "meet*" (6 hits) in 1min. 27sec. My
Compaq 360/20e scanned and clipped a random 17K document with 26
"hits" in 1min. 35sec. and an 84K ASCII deposition (nested in
four subframes) with 2 "hits" in 0mi. 55sec. *** Options allow
you to greatly increase speed, at the sacrifice of presentation
(See SCLdoc.fw3).
8. READ or PRINT SCLdoc.fw3, for complete instructions. AND
there is quite a bit you need to know, if you really plan on
using Scan & Clip effectively. There are about 24 program options
that can be easily changed.
9. SPECIAL NOTE: IF YOU TEST Scan & Clip with SCLtest ---
Because of the editing to the source deposition from which
SCLtest originated and page parameter settings, the references to
hard copy page numbers found in the created report of this test
will NOT corresspond to the pages shown in SCLtest, itself. But
for this editing and with page parameters set correctly for a
document, the page references should be correct. See
documentation.
