- This is the README.TXT file for GrabClip v1.0 from InfoComm(UK) Ltd.
-
-
- *******************************************************************
- NOTE
- ******
-
- GrabClip is written in Microsoft Visual Basic(tm). You will require
- VBRUN100.DLL to run GrabClip. VBRUN100.DLL is normally obtainable
- from the same sources where you have obtained GrabClip v1.0.
-

-
- What is GrabClip v1.0?
- ----------------------
- GrabClip v1.0 is a utility to save bitmaps on the clipboard to disk
- automatically.
-
- When GrabClip v1.0 is activated, any bitmaps copied onto the
- clipboard, will be saved to the hard disk.
-
- This is useful in situations where there is a need, for example, to
- take a series of screenshots of your application, to produce either
- documentation for the application, or demonstration screens.
-
-
- How to use GrabClip v1.0?
- -------------------------
- Install and run GrabClip v1.0, and choose 'Start' from the File menu.
- Run your application and hit the 'Print Screen' key at an appropriate
- point, and the application screen would be copied to the clipboard as
- a bitmap. GrabClip v1.0 would then save the bitmap to the hard disk
- and clear the clipboard for another bitmap.
-
- Repeat this at various points as your application runs and you will
- have a set of bitmap files of screenshots of your application, ready
- to be included into your documentation, or demonstration program.
-
- When you are done, choose 'Stop' from the File menu, and GrabClip
- v1.0 will be de-activated.
-
- The 'Options' item on the File menu sets up the directory where
- GrabClip v1.0 will save the bitmap files. The files are saved under
- the filenames "GChhmmss.BMP" where 'hh' is the current hour (0-23),
- 'mm' the current minute (0-59) and 'ss' the current second (0-59).
- Thus a bitmap 'grabbed' from the clipboard at the time of 15:45:33
- will be saved as "GC154533.BMP".
-
-
- Limitations
- -----------
-
- At the present, because of the file naming convention, the time
- resolution of GrabClip v1.0 is 1 second. If two bitmaps are copied to
- the clipboard in quick succesion, the later bitmap's filename may
- overwrite the first, if they are both saved within the same second.
- This limitation will be addressed in a later version. Obviously,
- bitmaps grabbed on different days at the same time will also clash on
- the filenames.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- GrabClip v1.0 is normally distributed as a compressed file in the
- PKWare's ZIP format. Make a convenient sub-directory for GrabClip
- v1.0 and unzip the files there. Add GrapClip v1.0 as a new program
- items to Program Manager (or equivalent), and that's it.
