RE: using print screen

2002-03-30 Thread Robert Coit

I saw those 8-bit captures and they look great.  But
what did they use to capture them?  If you use print
screen, the colors are completely distorted and
useless.

Robert,

Actually, the colors in those 8 bit captures were done with print screen and
the colors are completely distorted.  That's what I was trying to tell you.

Hello everybody,

if you have this problem, as I had:

Here is the solution, that helped in my case:

1) Start Cygwin installation and switch to UNIX file mode (no additional
package installed, see Cygwin/XFree86 Installation Guide p. 9)
2) Mount DOS drive in binary mode. By typing "mount", you can check your
mode. If if is "textmode", you have to
- unmout your system: cd /cygwin/bin   umount /
- remount your system: ./mount -b c: /
3) Reinstall XFree86

"bash-2.05a$"  

Yours

Do you sell cabinets?

2002-03-30 Thread cabineteaz


If you sell, install or make cabinets, take a moment.  This
product is well worth looking into.

 1.  Reduce damage to cabinets tremendously;
 2.  The faces of the cabinets will be flush, the tops and bottoms even;
 3.  Cuts installation time by 1/2 or more with less fatigue;
 4.  One man cabinet installation with Micro Adjusting accuracy.

These are only a few benefits.

Quality workmanship reflects:
 Your name
 Your image
 Your product

Remember, the women always look at the kitchen. 

For the discriminate cabinet maker and installer.

If you are a cabinet manufacturer your distributers will benefit.

Cabinet Eaz makes the difference.
