May be freely used and exchanged, as long as it is not modified or sold
for more than the cost of duplicating disks (i.e. not to exceed $10).

Contains PM2BMP.TXT (this text file), PM2BMP.EXE (the fast grabber),
PMHOTKEY.DLL(the hot key) and BMP2PM.EXE (the fast displayer).


o  PM2BMP.EXE - PM window to BMP file

   This fast OS/2 PM program enables you to grab an active PM window by
   simply pressing the PrintScreen key. It shows the grabbed picture in its
   own window and writes it to a BMP file. The picture may later on be looked
   at again by means of BMP2PM.EXE which has also been provided. It makes
   use of the PMHOTKEY.DLL to intercept the PrintScreen key. The created BMP
   files are named PM001.BMP, PM002.BMP and so on till PM999.BMP is reached,
   after which it starts all over again with PM001.BMP etc..


o  BMP2PM.EXE - BMP file to PM window
 
   This fast OS/2 PM program enables you to look at a picture previously
   grabbed via PM2BMP.EXE. Simply double click on the filename, or drag the
   BMP file to its icon to let it show the picture in its own window. When it
   is invoked without a parameter, then it tries to show C:\OS2\LIGHTHOU.VGA.


To install, create a subdirectory on your hard disk with a name you prefer,

program template, together with the working directory e.g. C:\PICTURES.
Specify the full path and filename e.g. C:\PICTURES\BMP2PM.EXE in the other
