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.

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

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.
