APPREHEND LITE For Borland Delphi 2.0 (Windows 95) Apprehend permits the user to capture screen images from your monitor. The images may be captured from the entire Windows95 Desktop (the entire screen), individually selected windows, individually selected window client areas, individually selected objects or controls, individually selected rectangular areas of the screen, and finally a selected 32 pixel x 32 pixel area of the screen (useful to capture icons). Two versions (APPREHEND Lite and APPREHEND FULL) of APPREHEND are available. The freeware version of the program requires only standard Delphi components and freeware components from the Internet. This version supports only BITMAP, WMF and ICON File formats using the standard Image VCL Component. APPREHEND LITE (FREEWARE VERSION - CAPTURE.ZIP) The installation program installs the Apprehend components into the following default directories: C:\APPREHEND PROGRAM FILE : Apprehend.EXE PROGRAM INI FILE : Apprehend.INI PROGRAM HELP FILE : Apprehend.HLP C:\APPREHEND\SOURCE SOURCE FILES MANUAL INSTALLATION 1. Extract all files into a folder named: [DRIVE]:\APPREHEND 2. Obtain and install the following Delphi 2.0 components to recompile: 1. ROLLUP.ZIP --> WinRoller Component (Freeware) 2. SYSHOT.ZIP --> HotKeys Component (Freeware) 3. XTOOLBAR.ZIP --> ToolBar Component (Freeware) 4. RULER.ZIP --> Ruler Component (Freeware) 5. XPROCS.ZIP --> String and Function Unit (Freeware) 6. BROWSEDR.ZIP --> Browse Directory component (Freeware) APPREHEND SHAREWARE VERSION ONLY (APPRHEND.ZIP)! Scan. crop, resize, change image resolution, number of colors, convert to grey-scale, and many other functions. Only TWAIN scanners are supported. The full (shareware) version of the program requires standard Delphi components, freeware components from the Internet, ImageLib by DFL Inc, and the SysTools Library by Turbo Power Software to recompile. These components ARE NOT PROVIDED WITH APPREHEND AND MUST BE PURCHASED SEPERATLY from DFL and Turbo Power. Image file conversion SHAREWARE VERSION ONLY Light Lib Images was designed to be the easiest image management library available for Windows application developers. Light Lib Images enables you to easily implement document and image support for existing or new applications. The product provides full support for .BMP, .PCX, .PNG, .TIF, .GIF, .JPG file formats and uses state-of-the -art compression RLE, HUFFMAN, LZW(ZIP), LZ77, CCITT Group 1D / 3 / 4 (fax) and JPEG. All images are divided into smaller images or "strips" before being processed. This gives Light Lib Images the ability to display very large images efficiently. Other imaging libraries do not do this. They rely on Windows to provide the necessary memory management in the hope that an image will fit neatly into available memory. (FULL VERSION) REQUIRED FILES C:\APPREHEND32 PROGRAM FILE : Apprehend32.EXE PROGRAM INI FILE : Apprehend32.INI PROGRAM HELP FILE : No Help file with this version ImageLib by DFL Software Required to Recompile or RUN SUPPORT LLI32.DLL FILE : LLI32.DLL required for this version SUPPORT LLO32.DLL FILE : LL032.DLL required for this version The DLL files must be located in the folder containing APPREHEND.EXE or be placed in a directory in your path: ie: C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System. C:\APPREHEND32\SOURCE SOURCE FILES It is suggested that the Apprehend (2.0) should be installed in a directory called [DRIVE]:\APPREHEND and a directory [DRIVE]:\APPREHEND\IMAGES should be created to store screen captures, however,other directories may be used. The FULL VERSION is written to take advantage of two commercial VCL Libraries: 1. ImageLib 1.5 by DFL Software (Commercial with FULL VERSION) 2. SysTools by Turbo Power Software (Commercial, with FULL VERSION) Recompilation of this version Apprehend requires only the VCL Components described above and Delphi 2.0. The enhanced version of Apprehend requires the purchase of both commercial libaries as well as the DLL support files. APPREHEND Apprehend.EXE will operate standalone without recompiling and does not require any other files to operate, EXCEPT APPREHEND.INI.
