- INTRODUCTION
-
- EZSnap is a Terminate but Stay Resident (TSR) program, which
- means that it is loaded once, and requested by pressing a
- special sequence of keys. This enables you to take a quick
- "snap-shot" of a programs' screen while the program is
- running.
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- To use EZSnap, you need the following computer equipment:
-
- An IBM PS/2, PC/AT, or Compatible Machine
- A Minimum of 128K RAM
- One Floppy Disk or Fixed Disk
- A CGA, EGA, or VGA Color Display
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- If you haven't already done so, use the DOS COPY command to
- install EZSnap on your hard disk. You may want to install
- EZSnap each time you start your computer. That way, it will
- automatically be available at any time. Simply include the
- line "EZSNAP" in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- EZSnap may also installed at any time from the DOS prompt.
- When you load EZSnap, it will allocate the memory it needs
- to function, and will display the following message:
- EZPop to display a screen:
-
- EZSnap Screen Capture Program Now Resident.
- Old vector = xxxx:xxxx
- Press [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[S] to Activate.
- Use [/U] Command Line Switch to Uninstall.
-
- The "xxxx:xxxx:" as pictured above will actually report an
- hexidecimal address value, and is provided for information
- only. The actual value reported will vary from system to
- system.
-
-
-
- SCREEN IMAGE FILE FORMAT
-
- EZSnap was designed to function with the EZScreen system.
- The program will create files which are fully compatible
- with the EZScreen editor and the EZPop display utility. The
- program will append a file extension of "EZS" to the target
- filename unless you supply a DOS extension.

- RUNNING EZSnap
-
- To bring EZSnap to the foreground, simply press the [Ctrl],
- [Alt], and [S] keys simultaneously. After doing so, you'll
- see the program banner appear in the upper-left corner of
- your display. It is here that you supply the filename for
- the current screen. Keyin any valid DOS filename, including
- the path, and press the [Enter] key. Press [Esc] to cancel
- the save process. EZSnap will return to its' prior dormant
- state, and wait for your next screen save request.
-
- EZSnap may be uninstalled or removed from memory by keying
- in the program name followed by the "/U" command line switch.
- This will return approximately 13K of memory for use by DOS.
- In order to remove EZSnap, it must have been the LAST TSR
- loaded into memory. If you've loaded a TSR after EZSnap, you
- must first uninstall it, then unload EZSnap.
-
- EZSnap will refuse to be loaded more than once. In other
- words, if it's already resident and you keyin "EZSNAP" from
- the DOS prompt, you'll receive a message similar to the one
- pictured below:
-
- EZSnap Program Already Resident In Memory.
- Press [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[S] to Activate.
-
-
- COMPATIBILITY
-
- We have tested EZSnap with most popular software packages,
- and other popular TSR programs as well, and have found it
- to be very reliable in service. However, due to the nature
- of this type of program, conflicts can occur. If you
- experience problems using EZSnap, please fully describe the
- symtom(s) that occured, and the conditions present at the
- time of the malfunction (i.e. software, function you were
- previously performing). Write to us with this information
- and we will attempt to resolve the problem.
