- ScreenShot Hack 1.3
-
- Best rating at tucows.com ScreenShot Hack is the easy way to capture
- black/white, grayscale and color PalmPilot screens as standard Windows
- bitmaps anywhere, anytime.
-
-
-
- ScreenShot Hack captures the current screen of any application.
- Black/white, 2-bit grayscale, 4-bit grayscale (on Palm IIIx, V, Vx...) and
- color (on Palm IIIc) screens are supported.
-
- To start the screenshot, enter one of three rarely used graffiti
- strokes:
- - the Graffiti stroke for 'next field', the down-up stroke (default)
- - the Graffiti stroke for 'previous field', the up-down stroke
- - the numeric keyboard popup (tap in the lower right corner of the
- Graffiti area)
-
- When the stroke is entered, ScreenShot Hack will immediately capture
- anything that's currently on the display. Screenshot Hack puts itself
- into the system event handler. This means you can capture screens from
- almost all applications and games.
-
- In some situations, e.g. when showing the built-in keyboard, the standard
- event handler is not used and thus the ScreenShot Hack activation
- stroke can not be entered. In these cases, you can make delayed
- screenshots. Check the Delay checkbox and enter an appropriate number of
- seconds in the ScreenShot Hack option panel. Then switch to the launcher
- or wherever the activation stroke is working and enter the ScreenShot Hack
- activation stroke. Then proceed to the screen you want to capture. After
- the specified number of seconds, the current screen will be captured.
-
- As the name ScreenShot Hack suggests, it is a special kind of program
- that requires Edward Keyes' Hackmaster to run. ScreenShot Hack will not
- appear in the list of applications, but rather in the Hackmaster's list
- of system hacks. Don't be worried by the word Hack, it's a completely
- safe and well-behaving little tool.
-
- If you want to remove a Hack from your system, first disable it in
- Hackmaster. Then choose menu->App->>Delete from the Launcher.
-
- Due to a bug in PalmOS 3.2 you can't delete Hacks on the Palm VII. You
- should use a special tool like Insider to remove a Hack on a Palm VII.
-
- You can make multiple screenshots. ScreenShot Hack stores all captured
- images in a database ScreenShotDB.pdb that will be backed up to your
- Desktop during the standard HotSync. Just make sure that you configured
- your HotSync for System: Handheld overwrites Desktop.
-
- You can preview your captures, remove the last capture or all captures
- from the database by going to Hackmaster and selecting the ScreenShot
- Hack control panel.
-
- ScreenShot Hack runs on all PalmPilot devices, including the original
- Pilot 5000 and the latest color Palm IIIc and other devices with PalmOS
- 3.5.
-
- On the desktop, you use the enclosed small ScreenShot2BMP.exe utility to
- convert the ScreenShot Hack database into a series of 160x160 16-color
- or 256-color Windows BMP files named Screen00.bmp, Screen01.bmp and
- so forth.
-
- If the program complains about missing DLLs you might need to copy
- this set of Windows DLLs into your windows\system (Windows 95/98) or
- winnt\system32 (Windows NT 4.0) directory.
-
- If you're running Linux or another Un*x version, you may want to try this
- Perl script for converting the Screenshot Hack database into .xpm files.
- This script was written by Matthias Cramer and may be distributed under
- GPL. It does not (yet) work with 256 color images.
-
- ScreenShot Hack is shareware and (C) LinkeSoft 1998-2000. You can try
- out the fully functional program. If you want to use it for actually
- making screenshots please register. Registration fee is just $10 and
- can be paid at PilotGearHQ, www.pilotgear.com. Registered users are
- entitled to support and free upgrades.
