     This program is a small gift
PC owners PROFI. You can use it
view images with the extension. GRF in Spectrum mode. For those 
who do not know, explained to. Graphics files with this 
extension can be received in CP / M computer PROFI in programs 
such as the Screen Editor, Grand-Croix, PCX viewer 'Converter, 
etc. The logical question - who and why All this should be? If 
you have a home PROFI and ask this question, then all the 
reasons mentioned below is not for you With all due respect. 
Press the "RESET" and erase Disk GRFV_1.6, because in humans, 
though rarely employed in the CP / M PROFI, such a question 
arise simply can not. Also, how and where to get the file

. GRF, it is probably understandable. Now a little about the 
appropriateness of its use. A typical example. It took a drag, 
say,. PCX file on SPECCY. At SPECTRUM'e human converters of 
this kind I just have not seen, except for a couple of glitches 
well, with very inhibitory scrolling screen. And PROFI in CP / 
M is a very powerful viewer. PCX files with a decent design and 
interface, moreover, despite the big screen (512X240), the rate 
of scrolling is very nice to 3.5 (7) MHz. So, this is the 
viewer knows how dashing convertible all different there. PCX 
to. GRF file format. And, as a whole or pieces. And the maximum 
file size is very impressive! But after such a complicated 
operation to convert, you can unload that same resulting. GRF 
on the TR-DOS CD and viewed on a standard SPECCY-screen

as well as record favorite screen on the drive for
editing, for example, in the same ART STUDIO. Here
Such "miracles on bends." Now, when it became quite clear to 
all, few details about where some menus, and for what ...



   Main menu:

 1. Load GRF
Displays a directory of the drive to the screen with detailed 
information on the current drive and the file on which the 
cursor. Cursor control: Sinclair 2 + Q, A, O, P, SP. After

select the file is downloading it.


 2. View GRF
View a downloaded option above. GRF file. Control keys for 
scrolling the screen are the same. In the event that was not 
loaded. GRF file, you will receive a message. We strongly 
recommend using the regime TURBO, if it is in your computer, 
the speed of scrolling of large screens will be smack in the 
frame-! :) Yes, no not try to look at my program's color. GRF 
or tumble VGA. This version of the viewer allows viewing format 
PROFI-mono. Future versions will be possible to view files with 
the mode information storage PROFI-color and possibly, CGA. 

 3. About GRF
Displays the details of. GRF file.


 4. Invert color
Inverted attributes mode View GRF.


 5. View screen
View the current screen. Here we want to clarify: the current 
screen is one that has been projected out. GRF file when 
clicking on the "fire" in mode View GRF.



 6. Save screen
In fact, the record of the current screen to disk.


 7. Short info
Brief information about the version number, author, and
how to deal with him (or me:) contact with you have any 
questions, suggestions or anything to do. 


 8. Restart DOS
 Unceremonious restart, and run boot'a.



     Now, some system information and
only ...

Maximum size. GRF file to download and view - 144 sectors or, 
respectively, 36,864 bytes, or exactly 36 kb. In fact, you can 
make program to download and much larger file, but it

not be a fool, "bite" unnecessary in its view, the sector. :) 
In this case, viewing. GRF file will be take place as usual, 
but not quite ... The fact is I did not adjust the length of 
the viewing mode, so it is possible that when scrolling to the 
end. GRF, the missing sector, which had been "otkusany" at 
boot, replaced by ROM or RAM on your computer. It's not 
dangerous, and hanging or other glitches are not threatened. 
Even the funny looks! :) I would also like to note that the 
full program will run in 128K. Glitch with

48K is that when loaded into memory
. GRF file, if the output directory of the drive, then it is in 
your file, and a slightly (?) To spoil when the regime 128K it 
is read in one of the top "cans" of memory. Disc surgery in the 
program occur with the bug hunting TR-DOS, and the appearance 
of such a message is displayed, or more correctly - a lot of 
posts! :) Oh, and in program is already the default is a 
demonstration. GRF file, sorry for the contents ... ;) That's 
really all about the version GRFV_1.6. Already have a fancy 
version of the program. True, I I doubt that anyone who needs 
bells and whistles such as "conversion to a monochromatic 
palette of blue or red" or "conversion to the texture mode 4X4 
(8X8)"?
