1. Introduction
---------------
 Camera is a marvellous screen grabber utility capable of grabbing the screen
in video mode 13h. Why is it the so marvellous? Because camera grabs the screen
by pressing a keyboard hotkey or by pressing both mouse button or by pressing
both joystick button. From now on you can grab any games' screen including those
ones which intercepts the keyboard handling.

2. Using CAMERA
---------------
 Enter CAMERA at the DOS prompt to load it to the memory. CAMERA stays in memory
having 1840 bytes memory allocated. Start the program whose screen you want to
grab. When CAMERA senses one of its activation methods it'll sound a beep on
your speaker and grab the screen.
 To activate camera:
   - press Ctrl+Alt+Esc on your keyboard
   - press both mouse button
   - press both joystick button
 CAMERA will save the screen to SCREENxx.256, and SCREENxx.PAL, where xx is a
number between 00 and 99.
 When CAMERA sounded a beep, but the file doesn't exist probably the current
video mode wasn't 13h, which means 320x200x256.

3. File format
--------------
 CAMERA saves raw data: it writes 64000 bytes to disk starting at $A000:0. The
paletta file contains 256 entries each containing an RGB triad.

4. New features in next version
