FREEZE FRAME for Windows The Perfect Complement to any Paint, Draw, or Desktop Publishing Application WHAT IS FREEZE FRAME? The version of Freeze Frame included with your Boca Research Vortek adapter consists of three separate applications: Screen Capture, Viewer, and Convert. Although each application functions independently, they can all be used to enhance each other's features. Screen Capture allows you to capture any screen image, including menus, areas, full screens, windows, and arbitrary shapes, using a hot key or pull-down menu. It can save the image in one of four formats, to the Clipboard, or send it to the printer. By default the captured images are displayed in Viewer. Viewer can display or print any graphic file which FreezeFrame supports. Multiple images can be opened at the same time so you can flip through them using quick keys. Vizwer can be accessed from within CoNverT so you can view unknown files before they are converted. Convert is a conversion utility which supports conversion between dozens of different graphics file formats. Batch processing allows you to convert multiple formats at the same time.MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS To use FreezeFrame: * a 286-based PC-compatible computer (386 or 486 is preferable) 2MB RAM * 2MB hard disk space (for this version). *a(CGA, EGA, or VGA graphics card and monitor ¢ Windows 3.0 or 3.1 * DOS 4.01 or higher How to Install Freeze Frame 1.
