Each Hcompressed dump starts with an 8-byte header saying what it is and wh`ere it should go on the screen. Compressed dumps can be joined into an sPingle large file (this entire demo is held in a single file). N Compressed dumps can be re-displayed only by the UNSNAP prPogram which takes the command line:-3  UNSNAP filename /Nn /Cn /Rn /Pn all parameters are optional, can be in any order, case doePsn't matter N  filename is the file in which the compressed image is located   /Nn specifies which image is to be displayed (default value is 1)  /Rn specifies a particular row pfor the display  /Cn specifies a particular column for the display  /Pn specifies a particular video page for the display N If a filename is not given then UNSNAP catalogues all the Pdisplayable image files in the currentP directory.& N NB for compatability with previous versions, UNSNAP will aPlso display  non-compressed (4000 byte) scre@en dumps.  > press any keyٵ0?}0?0>0>H0>>>M0>>>M0>>>M0>>>0?0?0P SELF-DISPLAY FILES ĿN  A self display file is a COM type program created by SUPASNAP which  contains both the compressed data from the selected block or screen  and also sufficient code to decompress and redisplay it. N  A self-display file is redisplayed simply by giving its forename as  a command - so to display PICTUXRE.COM type: N #8 PICTURE$ N  You can also override the intended location for display: N  PICTURE /Rn /Cn /Pn N  /Rn specifies a particular row pfor the display  /Cn specifies a particular column for the display  /Pn specifies a particular video page for the display N N NB If you give a value to ROW or COLUMN which would drive @the image  through the right margin, or the bottom, of the screen, the display  will not occur - and an errorlevel of 1 will be returned.

N  ANSI files can be displayed using the TYPE command. To display   a file called PICTURE.ANS just issue the command: N  TYPE PICTURE.ANS N  SUPASNAP creates ANSI files which are designed for easy editing . See  the SUPASNAP handbook for a list of relevant ANSI codes. It is  quite  practical with a decent editor to alter the colours or text or   locations in an ANSI file creatped by SUPASNAP. N  You could then re-display the ANSI file and have SUPASNAP re-ca pture  it in a different format.0 N  Lines from the ANSI file created by SUPASNAP may also be used   directly in batch files by adding the word ECHO to the start of  h of each line.< N N N > press any keyټ0?40 ?0? 0^P CREATING BATCH FILES ĿN It is quite practical to construct complete demonstration Xand training packages by writing a batch file to re-display your images one at a time (Just like this demonstration which you wil find called SUPADOC.BAT) N To help you control the flow of batch files we have includ@ed on the disk two simple utilities GET.COM and CHOOSE.COM N h GET [waitfor]$ N x CHOOSE "string"" N GET waits for a key to be pressed, and returns the key-cod0e as an errorlevel. GET can take a decimal parameter, waitfor, whiPch tells it how many seconds to wait before quitting with a zero error(level.  N CHOOSE waits for one of the keys listed in the "string" toX be pressed, it returns the position of key in the "string" as an errorlevel. The Esc key will also quit with a zero errorlevel.! N N Have a look at SUPADOC.BAT which is fully commented.

N  CURSOR ON/OFF/size N The parameter can be the word OFF (size=0) or ON (size=1) Por a number in the range 0-7 which sets a specific cursor size. N #@ PROMPT ( N The DOS prompt can be set to your requirement with the PROHMT command (see your DOS handbook). To kill the prompt issue the command:  N #@ PROMPT $# N Afterwards restore the ordinary prompt with the command: N $0 PROMPT$ N > press any key0?0?0 >0>>> 0>>0?0?90?0
