GPS F.A.Q.

Q. How can I use the PCX5 program in Windows 95/98?

A. The PCX5 program is a DOS program, but it will run under Windows 95.

To Install :
1. Click on START, then PROGRAMS, then MS-DOS Prompt

2. Insert the disk and type A: in the DOS window, Then press the 'enter' key

3. Type INSTALL c:\[path] at the A:\> prompt, then press the 'enter' key - where [path] is the directory you want the PCX 5 program installed (e.g., install c:\pcx5)

4. The program will now install itself to the directory specified. When finished, close the DOS window by clicking on the X in the top right-hand corner.

To Print :
As PCX 5 is a DOS program it is using the DOS 'GRAPHICS' command to control its printing - see section 4.7 (page 4-6) of the manual - unfortunately Windows 95 does not incorporate this command, and so using the PCX 5 print function results in a black page.

The procedure to follow is:
1. With the image you want on the screen, press the 'Print Screen' key on your keyboard - This copies the current screen image to the Windows clipboard

2. Exit the PCX 5 program.

3. Start a program capable of displaying pictures, such as a word processor or drawing program (i.e. Word, Ami-pro, Paint, Paint Shop Pro).

4. Click on the EDIT function at the top of the screen, and click on the 'paste' or 'paste as a new image' function - which will already be available.

5. Resize/crop the image as required and print.

Although this is not as quick as a single click, it uses Windows to control the printing and, thereby, gives you the ability of printing in color.
