- Compiled Slideshow files
- ------------------------
-
- When a user creates a slideshow file for VUIMAGE PLUS(tm), the user can
- execute the slideshow by typing:
-
- vuimgp -S sshow
-
- where "sshow" is the slideshow file. However, in some instances, the user
- may wish to distribute the slideshow for demo's etc. Since VUIMAGE PLUS(tm)
- is copyrighted material licensed to a single user (or licensed for a network
- installation as the case may be) and making copies of VUIMAGE PLUS(tm) is
- illegal, the user cannot distribute copies of VUIMAGE PLUS(tm) to display
- the slideshow.
-
- This is where "compiled slideshow" files come in. With a compiled slideshow
- file, you create a slideshow file and Offe Enterprises creates a "compiled"
- version of that slideshow file for a fee. The compiled version is a
- single executable file that, when executed, will do the slideshow, pretty
- much the same way VUIMAGE PLUS(tm) did when the slideshow file was specified
- to it using the "-S" parameter. The difference is that the compiled slideshow
- file may be copied and distributed royalty-free.
-
- To create a compiled slideshow, create a slideshow file, use
- VUIMAGE PLUS(tm) to test it with. Make sure it meets the "compilability"
- requirements listed below. Then send the following files to Offe Enterprises
- along with the fee:
-
- 1) slideshow file,
- 2) the VUIMAGE PLUS(tm) configuration file "VUIMGP.CFG",
- 3) the images. Usually the image files are assumed to be in the same
- directory as the executable slideshow file. If this is not the case,
- and hardcoded pathnames are to be used, use the "-dc" option to store
- the pathname.
- 4) the version number of VUIMAGE PLUS(tm) used to test the slideshow file
-
- Offe Enterprises will send back the compiled slideshow file, with the images.
-
- To be compilable, the slideshow file must meet the following
- "compilability" requirements:
-
- 1) All files must be in one file format (GIF, TIFF or PCX)
- 2) Only one file should be used with the "-C" parameter (i.e. no wild card
- characters in the filenames) and each file must be on a separate line
- 3) The slideshow file should be less than 2000 bytes
- 4) No SuperVGA driver should be specified
-
- Contact Offe Enterprises if you have requirements different from the above.
-
- A "compiled slideshow" order form is available from Offe Enterprises.
- Please call or fax.
-
- NOTE: The compiled slideshow file will work only with the images you
- supplied. If there are any changes to the images or to the slideshow
- file itself, a new compiled slideshow file will have to be created
- with appropriate payment of fees.

- TBG(tm)
-
- Tiff Bilevel/Grayscale to TIFF/GIF Bilevel/Grayscale Converter
- Copyright (C) 1990-1993 Offe Enterprises. All rights reserved.
-
- Converts a bilevel (black and white) or grayscale TIFF image to a
- same or lower resolution bilevel/grayscale image in TIFF or GIF format.
-
- EXAMPLE USES
-
- 1. Convert a scanned image in TIFF format (these are usually
- black and white images that have a large number of
- horizontal and vertical pixels) to a smaller image
- with grayscales so that the image can be viewed more
- completely on a VGA/EGA screen. The grayscales compensate
- for the loss of resolution caused when the image is
- reduced to a smaller size.
-
- 2. Convert a bilevel/grayscale TIFF file to a GIF file.
-
- 3. Reduce the filesize of TIFF files by scaling the image.
-
- The program can be executed non-interactively (for example, from a batch file.
- A demo version this program is available on many BBSes.
-
-
- SYNTAX: tbg [options] inputfile outputfile
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- -otiff output file in TIFF format.
-
- -ogif output file in GIF format.
-
- -xn where n=1,2,3,etc. Reduce the width by this factor.
- Example: -x2 reduces the width to half its value.
-
- -yn where n=1,2,3,etc. Reduce the height by this factor.
- Example: -y4 reduces the height to a quarter of its value.
-
- -bn where n=1 to 8. Set the number of bits per pixel in the output to n.
- If a lower number is sufficient, the lower number is used (also see the
- -f option). The maximum possible gray levels in the output is 2 to the
- power of this number. Example: -b4 sets the # bits/pixel to 4.
-
- -f force the number of bits/pixel to the value specified by the -b option
-
- -q quiet. Do not display input/output image information
-
-
-
- EXAMPLE: tbg -x4 -y4 -b2 input.tif output.tif
- tbg -ogif input.tif output.gif

- TIFCOMB(tm)
-
- TIFF File Combine Utility
- Copyright (C) 1992-1993 Offe Enterprises. All rights reserved.
-
- This utility can be used to combine many TIFF files into one TIFF file
- that contains all the images from each of the files.
-
- EXAMPLE: tifcomb infile1.tif infile2.tif outfile.tif

-
- SCRtoPS(tm) - Screen Capture to PostScript
-
- PRINT PC SCREENS TO POSTSCRIPT PRINTER OR CAPTURE TO ENCAPSULATED
- POSTSCRIPT FILE FOR INCORPORATION INTO DOCUMENTS
-
- for IBM PC + Adobe PostScript Printers and Compatibles
-
-
- Performs screen captures directly into PostScript by pressing Shift-PrintScreen.
- Use to include screen snapshots in your documents (including line/box/upper
- ASCII characters) or to print from software that does not support postscript.
-
- Supports Text and graphics modes including IBM character graphics on CGA, EGA,
- VGA and some SuperVGA. Text modes use the Courier font for standard ASCII
- characters.
-
- Send postscript output to LPT1/LPT2/LPT3 ports, COM1/COM2 ports or disk files.
- Send to postscript printer directly or import file into Desk-Top Publishing
- packages like Ventura Publisher/ WordPerfect for use with PostScript printers.
-
- Supports color to greyscale conversion on EGA/ VGA/SuperVGA and xon/xoff on
- com ports
-
- Uses minimal memory - less than 10K when resident - can be removed from memory.
-
- Graphics cursor indicates progress, screen capture can be aborted
-
- User selectable landscape/portrait mode, x, y sizes, and <ctrl>-d at end-of-job
-
- Built-in help facility
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Post-Screen(tm) - Screen capture to Postscript
-
- (Includes SCRtoPS(tm) described above).
-
- Further processes the postscript output generated by SCRtoPS(tm) (Screen
- Capture to Postscript) so that foreground/background color information
- for TEXT screens can be translated to different foreground thicknesses
- and background gray shades on the printout. The printed manual for
- VUIMAGE PLUS(tm) contains screens captured using Post-Screen(tm).
