- VGACAP v7.1 Copyright 1987-91 Lawrence & Marvin Gozum, MD.
-
- VGACAP captures MCGA/VGA 320x200x256 or SVGA 640x480x256 and 800x600x256
- screens. VGACAP71.ZIP includes VGAFIL to convert 256-color 320x200,
- 640x480, or 800x600 grabs to GIF, PCX, BMP (Windows 3.0) and TGA (Targa 16),
- as well as hardcode VGACAP for FAST, SVGA SCREEN GRABS.
-
- You can also view VGACAP and VGAFIL as a generic conversion utility since
- almost any MCGA/VGA/SVGA image from (320x200 to 800x600) that can be viewed,
- can be converted to GIF, PCX, BMP or TGA format !

-
- Update v7.1 * BUGFIX: GVGA code was "misplaced"; corrected.
-
- * BUGFIX: Tseng 4000 was in write bank only; this has been
- modified for READ and WRITE bank operations.
-
- * VGAFIL (v2.1) - adds "-C" to configuration option to
- maintain common interface with MVGAVU and other utils
- we will release.
-
- Update v7.0 * VGAFIL (v2.0) now supports Targa 16 (uncompressed TGA)
- format for those who want to edit/modify SVGA screen grabs
- with XGA, Hercules Graphics Station, Targa and other cards
- that support 32KB, 64KB, or 1.6MB colors !
-
- * BUGFIX: When VGAFIL was used in COMMAND LINE mode and the
- RAW files were not located in the default directory or
- drive, "0 x 0" images were encoded and subsequent system
- "hang" resulted. This has been corrected <whew!>.
-
- * SVGA 640x480x256 and 800x600x256 hard-coded for DIRECT
- memory/bank access; captures in about 2-3 seconds (based
- on SX with 28 ms. hard disk). The following SVGA chipsets
- are supported and can be configured with VGAFIL.
