- Nikon II
- --------
-
- Version 1.0 - April 19, 1992
-
-
- Nikon II is a screen capture utility for OS/2 2.0. This utility can take a
- snapshot of the current desktop contents and save the captured image as a
- bitmap. A number of options exist to control both the portion of the desktop
- captured and the destination for the bitmap. Nikon II will appear as an icon
- on the desktop and a capture is initiated by double-clicking on this icon.
- Various options for the capture can be set by invoking the Options dialog from
- the pop-up system menu. Pervasive online help is available to describe available
- options together with tips on usage.
-
- The current version supports a full desktop capture, all windows for selected
- applications (only), a selected region of the desktop or a complete window or
- window client area. For desktop and application captures, a delay can be set to
- enable the desktop contents to be arranged prior to the capture.
-
- Once the capture is complete, the captured image can be:
-
- - placed in the system clipboard for subsequent use by any application
- - likewise placed in the clipboard with a designated bitmap editor invoked
- for immediate post-processing
- - saved as a file on disk (in OS/2 1.x or 2.x, Windows 3.0, PCX or TIFF
- format)
- - printed at varying resolutions to any attached printer
-
- Nikon II is a fully 32-bit OS/2 Presentation Manager application and uses
- multiple threads for background processing of the image. Multiple captures can
- be initiated whilst earlier images are processed. Nikon II requires OS/2
- version 2.0 or later.
-
-
- This program must be installed as follows. It will NOT function correctly if
- started from the command line.
-
- - copy both the NIKON2.EXE and NIKON2.HLP file to a directory of your
- choice (the NIKON2.HLP file should reside in the same directory as the
- executable).
-
- - create a program reference for NIKON2.EXE in a folder of your choice.
-
- - open the Settings notebook (right mouse button on the icon), select
- the "Window" page and set the "Minimized button behaviour" to
- "Minimize window to desktop".
-
- - double click on the program reference icon to start the program.
