CAPLX

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• CAPLX.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 6.2 KB

No need to put CAPLX.DOC, CAPLX.PAS: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 16.3 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy CAPLX.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

[3] Quick start

  First enter as follows:
    CAPLX -pa:\
  Then CAPLX will stay in memory.  Option '-pa:\' tells to CAPLX
  to store the PCX files in the directory A:\.

  CAPLX is now ready.  You can run your application (build-in
  applications, EXM programs, DOS utilities, or whatever you
  like) and press [Alt]+[3] key to capture any screen, any time.

    Note: CAPLX can capture the screen only in CGA Graphics
          mode (video mode 6).  When you try to capture the
          screen in text mode, all you get is a blank PCX file.

  With a short beep sound, CAPLX creates a file as
  a:\scrn0000.pcx.  If you press [ALT]+[3] further on, the
  files go as a:\scrn0001.pcx, a:\scrn0002.pcx,...

  If you have finished, you can remove CAPLX from the memory by
  running it with no options:
      CAPLX
