                             | INTRODUCTION |
                             ----------------
     
     The following files are distributed with Cap2WP.
     
       CAP2WP.COM provides an easy way to copy displayed screens
                  directly to a document on disk, ready for later
                  retrieval by a word processor.  It is a memory
                  resident utility for the IBM PC family of computers,
                  allowing 'snap-shots' to be taken during other
                  programs' operation.  Screens are copied to
                  WordPerfect or ASCII format file.
      PATTERN.EXE provides a work-out test pattern for Cap2WP.  It
                  displays the extended character set, lines, boxes,
                  coloured panels and high-lighted text.  This display
                  can demonstrate and test Cap2WP's abilities. Type
                  "PATTERN" at the DOS prompt, and CAPTURE it.
       CONFIG.EXE configures the operation of Cap2WP.  A menu of the
                  adjustable features is shown, with the current
                  values of each displayed beside it.  A help screen
                  will appear for each item being changed.
       MANUAL.TXT this manual in ASCII text format, displayed by
                  typing "TYPE MANUAL.TXT | MORE"
                  printed by typing "PRINT MANUAL.TXT".
      INSTALL.EXE installs files and optionally modifies AUTOEXEC.BAT
                  to load Cap2WP into memory at boot-up.
        ORDER.FRM printable order form (type "print order.frm")
     
                             ----------------
                             | INSTALLATION |
                             ----------------
     
     To INSTALL the files, place the distribution diskette into drive
     A (or B) and type "A(or B):INSTALL" [enter]. Follow the on-screen
     prompts.  Upon completion, CONFIG will be run to show and set the
     operating features.
     
                               - - OR - - -
     
     You may manually install Cap2WP.
     1)   Make a directory on the destination drive.        MD \CAP2WP
     
     2)   Copy the files from the distribution diskette to the
          destination drive and directory.        COPY A:*.* C:\CAP2WP
          INSTALL.EXE may be deleted.        DEL C:\CAP2WP\INSTALL.EXE
     
     3)   Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to add the new directory to the
          PATH statement.  If you wish to always load Cap2WP at
          start-up, add the command line.                     C:Cap2WP
     
     4)   Change to the new directory.                    CD C:\CAP2WP
     
     5)   Run Config to set the operating features.             CONFIG
     
     
     Load Cap2WP into memory by typing "Cap2WP" at the DOS prompt, or
     by including the line "CAP2WP.COM" in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
     This may have been done during INSTALL.  As with all memory-
     resident programs, do not load during an application's temporary
     "exit or shell to DOS" process.
     Only 3k of system memory will be occupied.
     
     Activate Cap2WP by holding down the [Ctrl] key while you press
     and release the [PRINT SCREEN] key.  If you have changed this 
     'hot-key' using CONFIG, use your new combination.
     The screen will be read, interpreted to WordPerfect (or ASCII)
     format, and written to a file named 'IMAGE.DOC' in the current
     disk's root directory, e.g. C:\IMAGE.DOC.  If you are logged on
     to a diskette, Cap2WP will attempt to write 'IMAGE.DOC' there.
     
     A high beep indicates creation of 'IMAGE.DOC' on the disk.
     A low beep indicates that IMAGE.DOC already exists and the
     current screen is being appended to that same file.
     A medium beep indicates that screen capture is complete.
     
     WordPerfect format documents will be created with 12 pitch to
     allow an 80 column screen to fit within a normal 8 1/2 inch page
     width.  Margins are set to 1 inch and 1/2 inch.  This can be
     altered later within the word processor.
     ASCII format files will have no margins or modifiers.  Using
     WordPerfect output format, the full screen is written as is with
     line and box drawing characters preserved.  Characters displayed
     on the screen with high intensity will receive the bold
     attribute.  Coloured areas of the screen can be assigned any one
     of the WordPerfect attributes.
     
     Unload Cap2WP by retyping its name at the DOS prompt (not during
     an application's temporary "exit or shell to DOS" process). 
     Memory-resident programs must be unloaded in the reverse order to
     which they were loaded.                                          

     Type "CONFIG" at the DOS prompt if you wish to alter any of
     Cap2WP's features.  If CONFIG successfully finds Cap2WP and all
     of its configuration 'markers', a menu will appear with the
     current settings displayed to the right of each item.  Failure to
     start indicates that the DOS PATH should be changed or you must
     run CONFIG after changing to the directory where the files were
     installed.
     An arrow and high-light bar can be moved using the up and down
     arrow keys.  Pick the item to be changed by pressing [enter].
     Read the help pop-up text and respond to the prompt displayed
     there.  The new setting will be displayed beside the menu when
     complete.
     Changes will come into effect after loading (or removing and re-
     loading) Cap2WP into memory.

                                                     press [ENTER]

     This screen was captured in pure ASCII mode.
     In the example above, the attribute to be applied to coloured
     areas of the screen is chosen from a pick list by using the up
     and down arrows, and pressing [ENTER].
     
     The 'Save and/or Exit' option allows you to Save the current
     settings, Quit without saving, or press any other key to resume
     at the menu.  Config directly modifies Cap2WP.COM with the new
     settings - no need for command line arguments or a configuration
     file.
     
     The PC must be in text mode (modes 2, 3 or 7) for Cap2WP to load
     or activate.  WordPerfect provides a screen capture utility
     called "GRAB" for graphics modes.
     
     Some memory resident programs change interrupt vectors and
     execute only their own alternate interrupt handlers.  Cap2WP will
     execute any previously loaded routine(s) first, then itself.
     Cap2WP should be loaded after network or other memory-resident
     programs.
     
     Hot-keys are combinations of keys having altered meanings.  Many
     BIOSes do not support all possible key combinations.  Further
     still, applications may re-define key combinations at will and
     reset them upon exit. Cap2WP and CONFIG directly examine the
     Shift, Control and Alt keys and the key's scan code to provide 
     combinations not conventionally available.  The Ctrl-PrintScreen
     combination (a DOS function) may cause problems if pressed while
     Cap2WP is not in memory.  An alternate may be desirable. Use
     CONFIG to change this feature.
     
     The output format may be changed to ASCII.  Cap2WP will translate
     the special characters, used for line and box drawing, to
     typewriter characters which can be sent directly to a printer.  
     If you choose Extended ASCII output format, special characters
     will remain as seen on the screen.  However, many printers will
     not print these characters properly, and some applications cannot
     directly import them as seen.
