Miscellany/!DrawGrab/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

!Help file for DrawGrab By Paul Mason, 1994 Probably has a different date on the info box. Yes. It does - just checked. Anyway, DrawGrab � Paul Mason, 1992,1994 CSource is included for budding programmers. Basically, this program allows you to drag a draw file to its icon and then save this as a sprite file in the mode you are in. You can alter what part of the sprite is saved out by resizing the window. Also, use the zoom box from the main menu to alter the scaling of the draw file. This program should work with OS3 - but if it crashes, oh well. If anyone out there finds it useful, write to me and tell me please and I might upgrade it at some time.
