II  DESCRIPTION

XY SNAP is a screen snapshot resident program which uses keyboard interrupts
(often efficient) and generate TGA, IMG, or Degas uncompressed files.

Files:
  XYSNAP.GTP    Normal program      (AltHelp,SnapKey,C:\,launch)
  XYSNAPA.GTP   Floppy program      (AltHelp,SnapKey,A:\,launch)
  XYSNAPL.GTP   Light program       (AltHelp,C:\)
  XYSNAPTC.GTP  Special TC program  (SnapKey,C:\,launch,320*200*65536)
  XYSNAPFR.TXT  This file in French
  XYSNAPEN.TXT  This file
  

III SYSTEM

Machine:     Atari Falcon 030
TOS:         >= 4.00
Memory:      >= 1KB
Monitor:     RGB or VGA
Resolution:  all but extended


IV  USE

Before using XY SNAP, you should launch it so that it installs in memory.
Double-click on the right program icon. This one can install a snapshot on
[ALTERNATE][HELP], install a snapshot on [SnapKey] which is the key on the
left of [BACKSPACE] ([`] on a French keyboard), set his saving path, launch
a program A.PRG , and possibly force the saving resolution in order to avoid
traps. See above the list of available programs.
Then, the desktop will ask you parameters. The default path is the one
described above and the default filename prefix is XYSNAP_ . If you don't
want to modify it, just validate (you can also rename the program to .PRG in
this case). If you want to modify the path, enter the new path followed by a
\ . If you want to modify the prefix, enter a new prefix of maximum 7
letters. You can also enter the path and the prefix.

Normally, the program stay installed until the next reset. Do not install
the program in memory twice.

To snapshoot the screen, just press on [SnapKey] or on [ALTERNATE][HELP]
followed by the last character of the saving filename (these ones will
automatically be a,b,c,... for [SnapKey]). If an error occurs, the program
beeps or bugs horribly ! The generated files format is TGA for True color
resolutions, PI* for compatible resolutions, and IMG for other resolutions.
Before using [SnapKey] , ensure keyboard clicks are on.

The snapshot is possible with all GEM applications but also with
applications which use (even partly) the TOS. For these ones, you should
trigger [SnapKey] preferably when the mouse cursor is not visible to avoid
bugs (probably due to a TOS reentrance).
