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.)
