Introduction

Graffix is a screen-capture system for Windows and DOS.  This
Shareware Edition includes the following programs:

DGFX.EXE    - Graffix for DOS
WGFX16.EXE  - Graffix for Windows 3.1x
WGFX32.EXE  - Graffix for Windows 95 and Windows NT
AB.EXE      - AttriByte, ATF file display utility
DOSCLIP.EXE - DosClip, a DOS-to-Windows capture utility

DGFX.EXE is included for compatibility with previous versions of
Graffix.  This program has been superceded by DosClip (DOCLIP
.EXE), a DOS TSR utility that works in conjunction with Graffix
for Windows to capture to the Windows clipboard the entire screen
from graphical DOS applications running full-screen in a DOS
session.  Use of DosClip is explained in the "Capturing the DOS
Screen with DosClip" section of this text file.

Graffix for DOS (DGFX.EXE) can capture full-screen text or
graphics from DOS applications running in DOS or under Windows
to a GIF or a PCX file.  Graffix for Windows (WGFX16.EXE or
WGFX32.EXE) can capture the entire screen or any rectangular
portion from Windows applications to a BMP, GIF, PCX, or TIF
file, or send output directly to the printer.  WGFX32.EXE also
supports the PNG graphical file format.  For simplicity, the
explanations that follow focus first on the Windows version of
Graffix (including DosClip), then on Graffix for DOS.


Graffix for Windows

To run Graffix in Windows 3.1, select "Run" in the Program Mana-
ger "File" menu and enter the path to WGFX16.EXE.  In Windows 95
and Windows NT, click on the "Run" item in the "Start" menu and
enter the path to WGFX32.EXE.


Capturing the Windows Screen

Graffix for Windows was designed to run minimized in "popup"
mode, meaning it will pop up when you press the PrtSc key to
capture the entire screen, or Alt+PrtSc to capture the currently
active window.  You can then save the entire image or any
rectangular portion.  To return to the application that was
interrupted, click on that application's window or minimize
Graffix again.  You can turn popup mode off by pressing Ctrl+M,
or by clicking on "Popup" in the Options menu, which will remove
the checkmark next to this menu item.

Graffix does not need to be running in order to make a screen
capture.  Once you have pressed the PrtSc key, you can run
Graffix to display the clipboard.  You can then save the entire
image or crop a rectangular area with the mouse or keyboard
before saving to disk.

                            - 3 -

To save a captured image to disk, choose the desired format from
the File menu.  A dialog box will list the files of the selected
format in the current directory.  You may select one of the files
listed or type a new file name in the edit box.  You may also
switch to another directory or disk drive.

Graffix will also display text captured to the clipboard by
pressing the PrtSc key while a DOS character-mode application is
running full-screen under Windows.  Two character sets are avail-
able for the display of text, OEM and ANSI, which may be selected
from the Options menu.  Text can be saved to an ASCII file or to
a monochrome graphics file in any of the available formats.

While in popup mode, Graffix will also pop up when another appli-
cation puts onto on the clipboard a bitmap that is compatible
with Graffix.  The compatible formats are DDB (Device-Dependent
Bitmap) and DIB (Device-Independent Bitmap), two commonly-used
bitmap formats.  If you attempt to save a clipboard bitmap whose
format is not one of these two, Graffix will respond with a
dialog box that says "No bitmap exists on the clipboard."

Because of the internal complexities of the popup feature,
Graffix will not allow more than one instance of itself to run.
Clicking on the Graffix icon will therefore activate a currently-
running instance if one exists, instead of launching a new
instance.  This property can be put to good use if the Graffix
window should become hidden by another window; click its icon
in the Start menu to make the Graffix window visible.


Capturing the DOS Screen with DosClip

Graffix can capture the screen to the Windows clipboard from
either a text or a graphical mode DOS application that is running
full-screen in a Windows DOS session.  Normally, such captures
are made by pressing the PrtSc key.  However, Windows is not
always able to capture the screen to the clipboard from a DOS
application that is displaying a full-screen graphical image.
In that case, Windows displays the message "Unable to copy screen
contents into clipboard."  When this occurs, you can still make
the capture by activating DosClip, a utility that is included
with Graffix.

Before you can use DosClip, you must make it memory-resident in
the DOS session before running the DOS graphical application.  To
do this, first start a DOS session by clicking on the MS-DOS icon
in Windows.  At the DOS prompt, type dosclip and press Enter.
The directory in which dosclip.exe resides should be included in
the PATH statement of your autoexec.bat file, otherwise you will
have to type the full path to dosclip.exe before pressing Enter.
Dosclip will now display the message "DosClip is now memory-
resident" on the screen.  The message will also indicate whether
or not the VESA BIOS extension is present, as DosClip needs this
extension to capture SVGA screens.  If the VESA BIOS extension is
not present, you will need to insert a line in autoexec.bat that

                            - 4 -

runs a utility that installs the VESA BIOS extension in RAM.  See
the documentation for your video card for information about this
utility.  For a list of the VESA modes supported by DosClip, see
the Appendix at the end of this document.

After you make DosClip memory-resident in the DOS session, you
can run your graphical DOS application.  Now, if pressing PrtSc
fails to capture a graphical screen to the Windows clipboard, you
can activate DosClip by pressing Ctrl+PrtSc.  DosClip will signal
you with one or more beeps, depending on the screen mode, that
it is making the capture.  After the final beep, you may proceed
working in the DOS application and make additional screen cap-
tures.  Screen captures are saved to a series of sequentially-
named temporary files, starting with DSCLP000.BMP.  You can make
up to 256 captures in a series before the file name cycles from
DSCLP255.BMP back to DSCLP000.BMP and starts overwritng files of
the same name.

You can switch back to Windows at any time by pressing Alt+Esc.
Your DOS session will now be running minimized so that you can
return to it.  Graffix will now open the first temporary file,
place the image it contains onto the clipboard, then delete the
file.  It may be necessary to activate Graffix by clicking on
its title bar, if it is not the currently active window.  You can
now save the clipboard image, print it, or perform any of the
transformations available in the Options menu.

To display the next captured image in the series, press Ctrl+N or
select "Next DOS capture" from the "Display" menu.  After the
last capture is displayed, selecting this menu item will display
the message "No more DOS captures."  You may now return to the
DOS session to make additional captures by clicking on the DOS
session icon on the taskbar.  A new temporary series will begin,
starting with DSCLP000.BMP.

The temporary BMP files are stored in the default WINDOWS\TEMP
directory, unless you specify another directory by setting the
TMP environment variable in autoexec.bat.  The temporary BMP
files created by DosClip are not really useful to any other
application besides Graffix, as the images are inverted.  Graffix
automatically re-inverts the images before displaying them.
There is a practical reason for this image inversion; contact
the programmer if you need to know the technical details.

Although DosClip was designed to run in a Windows DOS session, it
is possible to use DosClip on a machine that is running only DOS.
In that case, you should include the following line in the DOS
autoexec.bat file:

set TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

This will enable Graffix to find and display the DosClip
temporary BMP files when you start Windows and run Graffix.

                            - 5 -

Cropping the Clipboard Image

The Graffix display window can scroll the clipboard image hori-
zontally and vertically by means of the scroll bars.  To mark a
rectangular area for cropping, move the cursor to the top-left
corner of the desired rectangle, depress the left mouse button,
move the cursor to the lower-right corner and release the button.
Repeat this procedure to erase the rectangle and draw a new one.
The width and height of the rectangle in pixel units will be
displayed in the title bar, as will the x (horizontal) and y
(vertical) coordinates of the upper-left (UL) and lower-right
(LR) corners of the rectangle.  The origin of these coordinates
is the upper-left corner of the clipboard image.

You can use the keyboard to modify or enter rectangle coordi-
nates.  To do this, select "Enter coordinates" from the Options
menu.  The dialog box will allow you to specify the position of
the upper-left corner of the rectangle.  You can specify the
position of the lower-right corner by entering its x and y
coordinates or by entering the width and height of the desired
rectangle.

You may save the cropped image directly to disk by means of the
File menu, or you may capture the rectangle to the clipboard by
pressing Ctrl+R or by selecting "Capture rectangle" from the
Options menu.  To erase the rectangle, press Esc or position the
cursor anywhere on the image and click the left mouse button.


File Menu Item: Save as BMP

Select this menu item to save the contents of the clipboard to an
uncompressed Windows Bitmap File with the filename extension BMP.
Monochrome, 16-color, 256-color, and 24-bit TrueColor modes are
supported.


File Menu Item: Save as GIF

Select this menu item to save the contents of the clipboard to a
CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format file with the filename ex-
tension GIF.  This format utilizes LZW compression, and supports
monochrome, 16, and 256-color modes.  GIF does not support 24-bit
TrueColor modes.


File Menu Item: Save as PCX

Select this menu item to save the contents of the clipboard to
a PC Paintbrush file with the filename extension PCX.  Mono-
chrome, 16-color, 256-color, and 24-bit TrueColor modes are
supported.

                            - 6 -

File Menu Item: Save as PNG (Windows 95 & NT version)

Select this menu item to save the contents of the clipboard to
a Portable Network Graphics file with the filename extension PNG.
Monochrome, 16-color, 256-color, and 24-bit TrueColor modes are
supported.


File Menu Item: Save as TIF

Select this menu item to save the contents of the clipboard to
a Tagged Image Format file with the extension TIF.  Three com-
pression modes are available: LZW, PackBits, and no compression,
any one of which may be selected from the Options menu.  The
defaults are LZW for 24-bit TrueColor images, and PackBits for
monochrome and palette color images.


File Menu Item: Save as TXT

Select this menu item to save clipboard text to an ASCII text
file.  Two character sets are available.  The OEM character set
is the DOS-compatible IBM extended ASCII character set.  The ANSI
character set is the one used by Windows.  If you save text to a
file that already exists, the text will be appended to the file.

The text that will be saved extends from the top of the Window,
as set by the current vertical scroll position, to the end of the
clipboard text.


File Menu Item: Open BMP

Select this item from the File menu to open a BMP file and place
it onto the clipboard.  The image can now be saved in any of the
four available formats, or cropped and then saved.


Main Menu Item: Display

This pull-down menu allows you to select which of the available
clipboard formats to display.  Normally, Windows will clear the
clipboard when the PrtSc key is pressed.  However, applications
can place a bitmap or text on the clipboard without first clear-
ing it, so that text and graphics can coexist.  This is the case
when you select Open BMP.  By default, Graffix will display
the format most recently added to the clipboard.


Main Menu Item: Options
The following options are available:

Capture rectangle (Ctrl+R)
  Select this menu item to capture the current rectangle to the
  clipboard.  You must first draw a rectangle with the mouse or
  by entering coordinates from the keyboard.

                            - 7 -

Clear clipboard (Ctrl+L)
  Select this menu item to empty the clipboard.

Enter coordinates (Ctrl+E)
  Select this menu item to modify or draw a rectangle by entering
  its coordinates from the keyboard.  The values that appear in
  the dialog box are those of the current rectangle, if one has
  been previously entered or drawn with the mouse.  If there is
  no current rectangle, the values default to a rectangle that
  contains the entire client area of the Graffix window.  Co-
  ordinates may be entered that exceed the boundaries of this
  client area, and may include the entire image on the clipboard,
  up to a full screen.

  The origin of the rectangle coordinates is the upper-left
  corner of the clipboard image.  To erase the rectangle, press
  Esc or click the left mouse button.

Invert colors (Ctrl+I)
  Select this menu item to invert the colors of the image on the
  clipboard, creating a negative image.  The original colors can
  be restored by selecting this menu item again.

PNG interlace (Windows 95 & NT version)
  Use this menu item to select whether or not PNG files will be
  interlaced.

Popup mode (Ctrl+M)
  This is the default mode of Graffix.  When minimized or
  hidden by another window, Graffix will pop up onto the screen
  whenever a bitmap image or text is put onto the clipboard.
  Select this menu item to turn popup mode off or back on again.

Reverse x-axis (Ctrl+X)
  Select this menu item to flip the clipboard image horizontally.
  This will result in a mirror image.

Reverse y-axis (Ctrl+Y)
  Select this menu item to flip the clipboard image vertically.
  The effect is the same as flipping a transparency over, top-to-
  bottom, and viewing it from the back.  To simulate the effect
  of turning an image upside-down, it is necessary to reverse both
  x and y axes.

Stretch bitmap (Ctrl+S)
  Select this menu item to stretch or compress the clipboard
  image along the horizontal and/or vertical axes.  Dimension
  limits are 1280 pixels horizontally by 1024 pixels vertically.

Text colors.
  This menu item allows you to choose the displayed colors of
  clipboard text.  The choices are black-on-white (the default)
  and white-on-black.

                            - 8 -

Text to bitmap (Ctrl+B)
  Select this menu item to convert clipboard text to a monochrome
  bitmap image, so that it can be cropped or subjected to any of
  the other transformation options, and/or saved to disk in any
  of the graphical formats.

  The text that will be converted to a graphical image extends
  from the top of the window, as set by the current vertical
  scroll position, to the bottom of a full-screen image.

TIF compression
  This menu item allows you to select the compression scheme
  for TIF files.  The choices are no compression, PackBits, and
  LZW (Lempel, Ziv, & Welch).  In the Windows 95/NT version of
  Graffix, two modes of LZW compression are available: LZW 8k
  and LZW 16k.  The k refers to the number of kilobytes of raw
  pixel data compressed into each strip.  The conventional strip
  size in TIF files is 8k, but 16k yields better compression.
  The defaults are LZW 8k for 24-bit True-Color images, and Pack-
  Bits for monochrome and palette color images.


Main Menu Item: Print

  Select this menu item to send clipboard graphics or text to
  the printer.  When printing a graphical image, Windows first
  presents a dialog box that will allow you to select from
  various options, such as resolution and intensity, then
  Graffix presents a dialog box that allows you to position
  the image on the page and stretch or compress it vertically
  and/or horizontally.

  When printing text, Graffix first presents a dialog box that
  allows you to specify top and bottom margins, and the number of
  lines of text to print on each page.  Then Windows presents a
  dialog box that allows you to select from various options, and
  to specify how many pages to print.  Printing begins from the
  text at the top of the window, as set by the current vertical
  scroll position.


Help Menu

Online Help is available to explain the features of Graffix,
and includes a glossary of terms used in this document.

Select "System info" from the Help menu to display the resolution
and color capability of the Windows screen driver currently run-
ning on your system.

Graffix for DOS (DGFX.EXE)

Graffix for DOS is a memory-resident utility that captures gra-
phics and text-mode screens directly to disk files.  It can be
activated from within a running DOS application by pressing the
"hot key" combination Ctrl+Alt+Space.

Graphics screens can be saved to either GIF or PCX files, and
text screens to either ASCII or ATF files.  The ATF format pre-
serves text color attributes.  Graffix supports all EGA, VGA, and
SVGA gray-scale and color graphics modes, including 16 and 256-
color, 24-bit color (VESA modes), monochrome EGA and VGA modes,
and text modes up to 132 columns by 60 rows.  To minimize memory
requirements of this TSR, the old CGA and Hercules graphics modes
are not supported.  SVGA modes are supported for adapters whose
BIOS is VESA-compliant, which includes most SVGA adapters.


Using Graffix for DOS

Super-VGA modes are supported for video cards that have the
VESA BIOS extension.  Graffix looks for this extension when you
make it resident, and prints a message on the screen indicating
whether or not the VESA BIOS extension was found.  Some SVGA
cards, such as the Video Seven WIN.VGA, require that you run
a utility program that installs the VESA BIOS extension in RAM
before an application can make calls to the BIOS extension.
In the case of the Video Seven card, this utility is named
V7VESA.COM.  Putting V7VESA on a separate line in your AUTO-
EXEC.BAT file will automatically load this driver every time
you turn on your computer.

In the absence of the VESA BIOS extension on SVGA cards, Graffix
supports the standard VGA modes, but will terminate and return to
the application when it encounters a mode it does not recognize.

When Graffix is activated in graphics mode, a prompt for a file
name appears at the top of the screen.  The cursor is invisible
in graphics modes, but you can enter a file name as you would
in text mode, and backspace to delete characters you may want
to change.  If no file name is entered before you press <CR>,
Graffix defaults to the file name SAVE#XXX.GIF/PCX, where XXX is
the sequential number of the file, and writes the file to the
current drive and directory.  You may enter the file name with
a drive and directory prefix, such as d:\dir\filename, where d
represents any drive letter and dir any directory or subdirectory
name.  The prompt will accept more than one directory in the pre-
fix, such as d:\dir\subdir\filename, for a total of up to 23
characters.

The file name prompt is drawn with palette number 15 against a
background of palette number 0.  Occasionally, there may be in-
sufficient contrast between these two colors for the prompt to
be visible.  In that case, simply press p or g to select PCX or
GIF, then press <CR> to use the default file name.

                            - 10 -

No file name prompt appears in 24-bit color modes, as some adap-
ter cards do not support text output in these modes.  Instead,
the filename defaults to 24BITxxx.PCX in the current directory,
where xxx represents the number in the sequence of files saved.
The GIF format does not support 24-bit color.

Video games sometimes use "tweaked" graphics modes that are not
supported by the BIOS.  Graffix may be unable to capture these
screens correctly.

The time Graffix takes to capture a graphics screen and save it
to disk depends on the speed of your computer, the file format
chosen, and the graphics mode.  A GIF file takes longer to create
than a PCX file, because the compression algorithm is more com-
plex, resulting in a file that is more compact.  The higher the
resolution of the graphics mode, the longer it will take to cre-
ate the file, because of the greater number of pixels that must
be encoded.

When the screen capture is completed, Graffix will signal you
with a beep.  During a SVGA screen capture, Graffix will generate
a series of ascending tones; each tone indicates that the video
card has switched to a new page of memory.  This is to reassure
you that the program is indeed processing data, and not hung up
in an endless loop.


Text Mode Screens

Text can be saved to either an ASCII file or to an Attribute Text
Format file with the extension ATF.  An ATF file contains two
bytes for each character: the ASCII code and the color attribute.
Many DOS applications that run in text mode simulate a graphical
interface by utilizing the extended ASCII character set to draw
multi-colored menus and dialog boxes.  Such a screen can be cap-
tured to an ATF file.

Graffix includes a DOS utility named AttriByte (AB.EXE) that can
display an ATF file in its original colors in a graphical screen
mode, so that the Graffix TSR can capture the screen to a GIF or
a PCX file.  When you run AttriByte from the DOS command line,
you will be prompted for the name of an ATF file to display.
AB.EXE will then switch the screen to the most suitable graphics
mode available on your computer and display the ATF file.  Attri-
Byte uses VESA modes to display 132-column text, so the VESA BIOS
extension should be installed on your computer.

If the maximum resolution of your monitor is 1024x768, AttriByte
will display 132-column text in VESA BIOS mode 104h, which is
only capable of displaying 128 columns.  Hence, the four columns
on the right of the screen will not be displayed.  On 1280x1024
monitors, the full 132 columns will be displayed in VESA mode
106h, which is capable of displaying up to 160 columns of text.

                            - 11 -

You can override AttriByte's choice of screen mode by running
AB.EXE with the /x command-line switch.  This will cause Attri-
Byte to display the ATF file in whatever screen mode happens
to be in effect.  Therefore, it is necessary to put the screen
into the desired graphics mode before running AB.EXE with the
/x switch, by means of a screen mode utility such as the one
included on the software disk that came with your video card.

When AttriByte displays an ATF file, the image will remain on the
screen while you activate Graffix for DOS by means of the hot key
combination.  After you've saved the screen as either GIF or PCX,
press any key to return to DOS.  If you used the /x switch, the
screen will still be in the mode you selected, and the DOS prompt
will be superimposed on the image that was displayed.  Use the
DOS command CLS to clear the screen, or reset the screen to text
mode 3 by means of your screen mode utility.

When you save a text mode screen to an ASCII file, the text will
be appended to a file if you enter the name of a file that al-
ready exists.  If you do this when you save text to an ATF file,
a new file will be created and the existing file deleted.


Installation - Graffix for DOS

To install Graffix for DOS onto your hard disk, copy the files
DGFX.EXE and AB.EXE into the directory where you want these files
to reside.  Then, to install the Graffix for DOS TSR into memory,
change to this directory, type DGFX at the DOS prompt and press
<Enter>.  From any other directory, type the full path to DGFX
.EXE at the DOS command line and press <Enter>.  If the "path"
environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file includes the drive
and directory where DGFX.EXE resides, then you need only type
DGFX at the DOS prompt from within any directory before you press
<Enter>.

To make the Graffix for DOS TSR automatically memory-resident
each time you turn on your computer, insert into your AUTOEXEC
.BAT file the DOS command line to launch DGFX.EXE, after the line
that sets the path.

Run DGFX.EXE from the DOS prompt to make the TSR memory-resident.
If you do this before launching Windows 3.1 in Enhanced Mode, the
TSR can be activated from within any DOS prompt or DOS applica-
tion running under Windows.  If you run DGFX.EXE from a DOS shell
in Windows 3.1 to make the TSR memory-resident, it can be acti-
vated only from within that shell and not elsewhere in Windows.

                            - 12 -

In Windows 95, it is preferable to run DGFX.EXE from a DOS shell,
in which case the TSR can be activated only from within that
shell.  It is possible to start Windows 95 in DOS mode (see the
Windows documentation), run DGFX.EXE, then type "win" at the
command line to launch the Windows interface.  This will make it
possible to activate the TSR from any DOS application or shell,
but this forces DOS compatibility mode which degrades the per-
formance of Windows 95.


Installation - Graffix for Windows

To install the Graffix icon into a group window in Windows 3.1,
first create a directory on your hard disk where you want the
Graffix files to reside (the DOS manual explains how to do this).
Next, copy the files WGFX16.EXE and WGFX.HLP into that directory.
Now start Windows and open the program group window into which
you want to install the Graffix icon.  Next, pull down the File
menu in Program Manager and click on New.  Select "Program Item"
and click OK.  The "Program Item Properties" dialog box will now
appear.

For Description, enter "Graffix."  Press the Tab key, and
for Command Line, enter the full path to WGFX16.EXE, such as
C:\Graffix\WGFX16.EXE.  Press the Tab key, and for Working
Directory, enter the path to the default directory where you
want screen-capture files to be saved.  Now click OK, and
the Graffix icon will be installed into the group window.

To install Graffix into the Windows 95 Start Menu, first click
the "Start" button.  Move the arrow to "Settings."  Click "Task-
bar."  Click "Start Menu Programs," then click "Add."  Now enter
the path to WGFX32.EXE or select "Browse" to locate the file.
Click "Next" and select the folder in which to place the Graffix
icon.
