Demo Version of COALESCE, the IMAGE MERGER! COALESCE is copyright 1991 Chet Walters. This demo may be uploaded anywhere or given away as long as these text files remain attached. Check it out! Welcome to the COALESCE DEMO! Coalesce is included with The Tray or is available separately for only $20US (see below). This demo is designed to give you and idea of what is possible with your hand scanner and the tray. Try loading the sample images to see what can be done. You will find out soon enough which features are disabled in the DEMO version. This demo version is fully capable of interfacing with the Dr. Bob's ScanLite acc/prg demo which is included in this archive. The programs are sold separately (see below). When merging images, you must load the LEFT image first, then load the RIGHT image. When there are two images in memory, the arrow buttons on the left of the window and both the slider bars will move BOTH images while the arrows on the RIGHT will move only the right image in relation to the left image. When clicking on these various image mover buttons, the LEFT mouse button will wait until a release before repeating. If you need high speed, use the RIGHT mouse button for clicking (turbo mode!) Since COALESCE is designed specifically for merging two half page scans from the tray, it won't load an IMG smaller than 256 x 400 for left or right and 500 x 400 for a full image. Key press equivalents for COALESCE: B Bottom view M Middle view T or CLRHM Top view SHIFT/CLRHM Reset offsets to "just loaded" status ENTER Opaque/Trans toggle UP ARROW Move image up in window DN ARROW Move image down in window I Set "ARROWS MOVE IMAGE" W Set "ARROWS MOVE WINDOW" ALT/Q QUIT NOW! Q Quit with confirmation. Other keys are the first letter of the icon name (ie "S"=Save). Images can be merged either with the right image opaque over the left (obliterating anything of the left under the seam), or the right image transparently with the left data showing (see through). The default button on the "JOIN" alert will be set to default according to the state of the OPAQUE/TRANS button when you elect to staple the puppies together. For the demo of ScanLite to called as an accessory, it needs to be on the root of the boot drive and named SCANLITD.ACC. If it's in the accessory list at the desktop, COALESCE will find it. To run as a program, SCANLITD.PRG must reside in the same folder as does COALESCE. If COALESCE finds the ACCESSORY version in the menu list, it will ignore the program version and always call up the acc version. That's it! Enjoy! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= New From Dr. WizWorks! THE TRAY (tm)! FULL PAGE SCANS USING YOUR EXISTING HAND SCANNER! THE TRAY is the ultimate hand scanner guide measuring 20 inches long by 12 inches wide to easily accomodate US letter, US legal, and Euro A4 paper sizes. It's manufactured with strict tolerances and has an attached clear vinyl overlay to hold your page rock-steady for accurate scanning. Just place your hand scanner into the cradle and scan both halves of a page. Use the included ST/TT COALESCE software written by Chet Walters to merge the two images together into a full page! The COALESCE software can print the freshly merged image to HP DeskJet, HP LaserJet or Atari SLM laser printers with a multiple function for fast "photocopies" or, you can elect to save the full page as an .IMG file for use with any software you like. COALESCE can also re-load these full page .IMG files (or any .IMG for that matter) for quick re- printing anytime. COALESCE is also specially designed to directly interface with Dr. Bob's ScanLite so if you're a Scan Lite owner, you can scan and save directly from within COALESCE! THE TRAY gives you a steady helping hand to straghten out any scanning task! THE TRAY is a trademark of the LYRA Group and comes with the ready to run COALESCE merging software for all ST/TT computers. The THE TRAY fits GeniScan/ST (tm), Golden Image (tm), Migraph (tm), DAATAscan (tm) and most other scanner bodies available for the ST/TT. Available for only $69.95 ..... Why pay more?

GeniScan/ST (tm), Migraph (tm), DAATAscan (tm) and the Golden Image (tm) hand scanners are currently supported with plans to add to that list as the need arises. ScanLite requires less than 20k of memory making it an excellent choice for systems without megs and megs of memory. ScanLite is a superb choice for those who like to scan large images while at the same time being able to keep their favorite system enhancements installed. ScanLite is great too for large systems when all you want is a quick, no-hassles scan & save. View as You Scan in all ST and TT resolutions. Easy to use dialog for desired scan length in either inches or centimeters. An adjustable time-out feature that's compatible and convenient across the accelerator board spectrum. No more drumming your fingers on the desk while you wait for a timeout. No more timeout before you can get situated for an ideal scan. ScanLite saves scans as .IMG files in either super-compact or 'uncompressed' format for maximum compatibility across system platforms. ScanLite CAN RUN AS A PROGRAM OR AN ACCESSORY! For accessory running, ScanLite has a fully configurable memory reserve feature which allows scanning within programs that take all of system memory space for themselves (like PageStream). Or, should you choose to run as an accessory with no memory reserve feature, ScanLite will take only 20K of memory space until you call it up. It will then use what's available from the system, giving that memory back when it's done! When ScanLite is installed as an accessory, it's fully loaded with the ability to communicate with other programs running under GEM! This enables you scan directly into any program that's designed to "talk" to ScanLite! We are currently discussing ScanLite compatibility with several other ST/TT software publishers so if you'd like to be able to scan directly into your favorite program, give the publisher a call and ask if they are ScanLite ready! ScanLite currently has the ability to directly interface with the COALESCE merging software that comes with THE TRAY from WizWorks! Scan directly into COALESCE for easy picture perfect full page scans with your existing DAATAscan (tm), GeniScan/ST (tm), Golden Image (tm) or Migraph (tm) hand scanner. ScanLite is available for only $20 from...... WizWorks! Post Office Box 45 Girard, OH 44420 (216) 539-5623 MasterCard/VISA accepted (3%) Shipping only $1.00 additional! Both ScanLite and THE TRAY w/ COALESCE will be introduced at the Chicago show in 1991! See ya there!
