GRAB
A Screen Capturing Utility
Hit ALT-PrtSc to activate
GRAB.COM is a TSR screen-capturing utility that saves a copy of
the current screen image in a BOX Memory format file. GRAB is
quite useful for creating demonstrations and training programs
by capturing screens from operating programs.
To use GRAB first load the program into memory by typing GRAB
at the DOS prompt. The program will write a short message on
the screen confirming that it has been loaded. After GRAB has
been loaded into memory it will go to sleep and return you to
the DOS prompt so that you may run any other program you wish.
When you see a screen image that you want to capture, GRAB may
be activated by hitting the ALT key and the PrtSc key
simultaneously. GRAB will wake up, take a snapshot of the
screen, and then write the screen image to the current disk
drive and directory in a BOX Memory format. The first file
created by GRAB will be assigned the name BOX000.MEM.
Subsequent files will named BOX001.MEM, BOX002.MEM and so on.
Later you can load the screen images which have been saved with
GRAB into the BOX editor and further modified. Although GRAB
only writes files in a Memory format you can easily modify the
format by loading the file into BOX with a Memory format and
saving the file with a ASCII or Packed format.
