NEOGRAB SCREEN CAPTURE UTILITY
------------------------------

Included as part of the NeoPaint Package is a simple
screen capture utility called NeoGrab. NeoGrab will
capture graphics displayed on your monitor and convert
them into PCX format files which may be used in NeoPaint.

To load NeoGrab, at the DOS prompt type:

NEOGRAB [Options]

To capture a graphics screen, press <Ctrl> <Print
Screen>. Two short beeps means the screen was captured
successfully. One long beep means an error occurred and
the screen could not be captured. An error will occur if
you are in text mode, an unsupported graphics mode, or if
your disk is full. NeoGrab supports all standard video
modes and most super VGA modes so you shouldn't have any
trouble using it with popular software. NeoGrab will not,
however, work with Microsoft Windows.

Screen captures are stored as PCX files and placed in the
directory where the NEOGRAB.EXE file is located. Files
are numbered sequentially starting with 00000001. For
example the first captured screen will be named
00000001.PCX the second 00000002.PCX and so on. NeoGrab
will not delete files to make room - it simply selects
the next available file name in the sequence. Deleting
files is up to you.

NEOGRAB COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
----------------------------

You can specify several options when starting NeoGrab. An
option consists of a forward slash (/) followed by an
option letter.

ALTERNATE HOTKEY
----------------

USAGE:    /K

EXAMPLE:  NEOGRAB /K

PURPOSE:  Changes the hotkey from the default <Ctrl>
          <Print Screen> to <Alt> <Scroll Lock>. This is
          useful if another program is already using the
          default hotkey.

SPECIFY CAPTURE PATH
--------------------

USAGE:    /P[path]

EXAMPLE:  NEOGRAB /Pc:\pcx

PURPOSE:  This option allows you to specify a drive and
          directory for captured PCX images. By default
          captured screens are stored in the directory
          that contains the NEOGRAB.EXE file.

UNLOADING NEOGRAB
-----------------

USAGE:    /U

EXAMPLE:  NEOGRAB /U

PURPOSE:  Use this option to unload NeoGrab from memory.
          This will only work if NeoGrab is the last TSR
          loaded in memory.
