-
- Tiff Bilevel/Grayscale to TIFF/GIF Bilevel/Grayscale Converter
- Copyright (C) 1990 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

- 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).
