Thank you for trying GRABBER(tm) ! ------------------------------------ Thank you for your interest in the GRABBER screen capture system! Users who register their use of the program receive a copy of one of the registered GRABBER packages. The registered GRABBER packages include the most recent versions of the programs and documentation included in this shareware issue (with exceptions noted below). >> THE SCREENS CAPTURED BY THIS SHAREWARE VERSION << >> OF GRABBER INCLUDE A REGISTRATION REMINDER << >> MESSAGE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER. SCREENS << >> CAPTURED BY THE REGISTERED VERSIONS OF GRABBER << >> DO NOT INCLUDE THESE MESSAGES. << There are two registered packages you can choose from, depending on your needs. One is currently available for $59.00 U.S., and the other for $29.00 U.S. The Version 6 ($59.00) registered package is designed with the graphics power user in mind. If you need a program that can capture high resolution Super-VGA and 8514/A graphics, or if you want to convert the image files created by GRABBER into a format that can be imported into other software applications for displaying or printing, then the $59 package is for you. The $59 package captures text images of every size, plus VGA and Super-VGA graphics up to 1,280 x 1,024 in 256 or 16 colors. The Version 5 ($29.00) registered package is suited for users who do not have intensive graphics needs which require Super-VGA hardware support or graphics format conversion, but who still need a product that can capture and redisplay high-quality graphics on IBM VGA-compatible computers. The $29 package captures text images of every size, plus VGA graphics up to 640 x 480 in 16 colors, or up to 320 x 200 in 256 colors. The Version 6 package includes the GR2PCX and GR2GIF graphics conversion utilities which you will find in this shareware issue.
