AGI Targets Linux

SAN JOSE, Calif., October 19, 1999 - AutoGraph International (AGI) is
demonstrating its commitment to the Linux community through our EasyCopy
suite of products.  The Linux operating system has always played an immense
role in AGI and some of our developers are active in the Danish Linux
community.  In fact, Linux engenders a decidedly emotional response from
our normally cool, analytical development staff. 

EasyCapture for Linux
	When it comes to capturing screens on Linux, EasyCopy's "true
	screen capture" enables a user to generate the highest quality
	results and provides the easiest means of doing so. 

	Enhanced X Capture offers full screen, selected window or an
	arbitrary rectangular area capture.  All original colors of the
	windows are preserved with any combination of windows.  Even when a
	window appears in false colors on the screen due to color table
	overrun, it is captured in its original colors by EasyCopy and
	printed correctly. 

EasyCopy gains acknowlegement in the Linux community
	IDG authors Erwin Zijleman and Steve Harris have used our EasyCopy
	to generate all screen captures in their new book WordPerfect for
	Linux Bible.  In a comparative analysis for his management, Erwin
	Zijleman wrote: 

"In the last few days I did more experiments with the software and I'm
quite impressed.  Screenshots can be taken from a graphical user interface,
but also from the command-line (more flexible). Screenshots can be
converted to a large number of file formats immediately (using
EasyConvert).  All the software is easy to install and very well
documented.  The software is user-friendly as well, which makes creating
screenshots a lot easier than with the other programs I tried.  The quality
of the screenshots is good! EasyCapture has no problems capturing all the
elements of an X-Window screen. 
I think this is interesting software for all authors working on Linux books!"

High quality image printing on Linux
	EasyCopy prints captured screen images or imported image files and
	makes it easy for the user to specify the printer setup, page
	layout and rendering options.  It is unique in its mapping of
	screen colors and provides an EasyColor profile which is used by
	the printer driver to give optimal color quality. 

Printer support on Linux
	EasyCopy supports PostScript, CGM, PCL,RTL, and other raster
	printers.  The majority of the printers on the market are supported
	by the software: laser, ink jet, thermal transfer, dye sublimation,
	large format electrostatic and ink jet plotters as well as color
	laser printers. 

	EasyCopy provides the capability for direct printer connection by
	parallel, serial, SCSI or internal TCP/IP interface.  In addition,
	connection over network interface boxes or connection to a print
	queue on a remote host is supported. 

File format conversion on Linux
	EasyConvert gives Linux users a fast and flexible tool for image
	conversion.  It is installed together with EasyCopy as a seamless
	extension to the graphical user interface.  The extensive list of
	supported image file formats makes it a very powerful tool for
	exchanging image files between various graphics applications. 

EasyCopy Sys-Admin tools for Linux
	EasyCopy includes tools to facilitate the creation and
	configuration of print queues for the supported printers. 

Licensing
	For non-commercial single users, EasyCopy licenses carry no license
	fee.  Commercial users will wish to contact AGI for the pricing
	structure.
