the latest releases of the PCXDUMP system.

The cost as of this writing is $25.00 U.S. per single-user license.


	  OVERVIEW OF PCXDUMP
	  -------------------

	  PCXDUMP is a program which saves the images on the screen of your
	  IBM Personal Computer or compatible PC to a disk file.
	  PCXDUMP is memory-resident, which means that having executed it once,
	  the program is always waiting in the background, while you con-
	  tinue to run other programs. You tell PCXDUMP to capture the image
	  currently displayed on the screen by pressing a combination
	  of keys which PCXDUMP reserves for itself.
	  The saved images are put on the disk in the PCX-format. A large
	  variety of word processors, desktop publishers and paint programs
	  are capable of importing PCX-files, e.g. WordPerfect, PageMaker,
	  Ventura Publisher, PaintBrush and many, many more.

	  If anyone wants the pictures in another format (eg. GIF), use a
	  converter program like the GRAPHIC WORKSHOP or ALCHEMY.
	  (available from "wuarchive.wustl.edu" or "wsmr-simtel20.army.mil")

	  Also included in the package is a utility, PCXVIEW, which will show
	  all the images that PCXDUMP can produce (2, 16, 256 or 16.7 million
	  color PCX-files) on any EGA, VGA or SVGA display adapter.

	  9 GOOD REASONS TO USE PCXDUMP
	  -----------------------------

	  THE PRICE	      - PCXDUMP will cost you only 25.00 $.

	  THE SIZE	      - PCXDUMP will use only 12.3 Kb of
				conventional memory (and no EMS or XMS).

	  THE SPEED	      - ALL pixels are written/read directly in to the
				video memory and hence really fast!

	  SUPER-VGA	      - PCXDUMP recognizes a large number of SuperVGA
				chips, and is able to use their resolutions
				as well.

	  EASY TO INSTALL     - PCXDUMP can be installed with a on-screen menu
				where you can install PCXDUMP the way you prefer
				In the menu you can change things as:
				the hotkey-sequence to activate PCXDUMP, where to
				put the PCX-files, the type of your videocard
				(PCXDUMP autodetects the videocard) and several
				other features.

	  IT'S EASY TO USE    - Just press the hotkey and use the mouse or
				keyboard to choose which part of the screen
				to save.
				PCXDUMP dumps the images directly to the
				PCX-format.

	  -			PCXDUMP offers several of ways of "delaying" the
				installation. Read about it in "PCXDUMP INSTAL-
				LATION OPTIONS". In short this means that you
				are able to capture screens, which you
				normally aren't be able to capture.

	  -			A lot of (particularly new) games push the EGA
				or VGA-card to the limit and use undocumented
				videomodes to get smooth scrool and smooth
				animation. PCXDUMP recognizes these modes.
				However, as the registers are write-only
				(can't be read) on EGA-cards, PCXDUMP can
				neither detect nor use these modes on EGA-cards.
				But on VGA-cards or better ALL these modes will
				be detected! Even if these modes includes a
				splitscreen configuration (like the shareware
				version of 3D Wolfenstein game from Apogee)!

	  IT'S NOT CRIPPLED   - And last, but not least. It's not crippled in
				any way. PCXDUMP is is designed to capture
				graphic screens and will work with no limita-
				tions in graphics modes.. But if you register
				PCXDUMP, you will get the "text capturing"
				function as a bonus !
