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.

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.

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.
