All rights reserved. SuperClip is a clipboard viewer that can save all or part of the image on the clipboard to a graphics file in BMP, GIF, or PCX format. In Windows, the entire screen can be captured to the clipboard at any time by pressing the PrtSc key (Shift-PrtSc on 84-key keyboards), or just the currently active window by press- ing Alt-PrtSc. SuperClip does not need to be running in order to do this. SuperClip can then be opened to save the entire clip- board, or the image can be cropped by using the mouse to frame a rectangle of any size within the window before saving to disk. To save, choose the desired format from the File menu. A dialog box will list the files of the selected format in the current directory. You may select one of the files listed or type a new file name in the edit box. To change to another drive or direc- tory, highlight that item in the list box and click OK. When minimized to an icon or hidden by another window, SuperClip is still active in "popup" mode, which means it will pop up onto the screen or become visible whenever an image is placed on the clipboard. You can then save the entire image or any rectangular portion. To return to the application that was interrupted, just click on that application's title bar or minimize SuperClip back to an icon. You can turn popup mode off by selecting "Popup" in the Options menu, which will remove the checkmark next to this menu item. In popup mode, SuperClip will pop up when you press the PrtSc key OR when another application places a bitmap on the clipboard that is compatible with SuperClip. The compatible formats are DDB (Device-Dependent Bitmap) and DIB (Device-Independent Bitmap), the two most commonly-used bitmap formats. If you attempt to save a clipboard bitmap whose format is not one of these two, SuperClip will respond with a dialog box that says "No bitmap exists on the clipboard." Cropping the Clipboard Image The SuperClip display window can scroll the clipboard image hor- zontally and vertically by means of the scroll bars. To mark a rectangular area for cropping, move the cursor to one of the top corners of the desired rectangle, depress the left mouse button, move the cursor to the diagonally opposite corner and release the button. Repeat this process to erase the rectangle and draw a new one. The width and height of the rectangle in pixel units will be displayed in the title bar, as will the x,y coordinates of the upper-left (UL) and lower-right (LR) corners of the rec- tangle. The origin of these coordinates is the upper-left corner of the window display area. To save the cropped image, select the desired format from the File menu. To erase the rectangle, press Esc or position the cursor anywhere on the image and click and release the left mouse button. File Menu Item: Save as BMP Select this menu item to save the contents of the clipboard to an uncompressed Windows Bitmap File with the filename extension BMP. 16-color, 256-color, and 24-bit TrueColor modes are supported. File Menu Item: Save as GIF Select this menu item to save the contents of the clipboard to a CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format file with the filename ex- tension GIF. This format utilizes LZW compression, and supports 16 and 256-color modes. GIF does not support 24-bit color modes.

Client rectangle. Select this menu item to draw, without using the mouse, a rectangle that contains the entire client area of the SuperClip window.
