1. WHAT IS SNAGIT?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SnagIt has been providing Microsoft Windows users with an easy way
to capture and print Windows screens since it was first released in
1991. In "Windows 3.1 Secrets," author Brian Livingston calls
SnagIt "the print utility Microsoft Windows forgot."
SnagIt allows Windows users to capture an entire screen, an
individual window or a user defined portion of the screen. SnagIt
also accepts input directly from the Windows clipboard or a Windows
bitmap (BMP) file. Once captured, SnagIt will send the image to the
printer, the clipboard, a graphics file or to e-mail.
Captured images can be pasted into other Windows applications such
as word processors and desktop publishing programs from the Windows
clipboard or by importing the images from saved graphic files.
Software developers will find that SnagIt's full DDE support allows
it's functionality to easily be incorporated into other Windows
applications. SnagIt also provides MAPI support for Windows 95 and
NT, allowing captured images to be readily sent in an e-mail message.
1.1 What is the SnagIt Twin Pack?
Many organizations are in the early stages of the transition from
Windows 3.1x to Windows 95 or NT. To assist during this period,
TechSmith is offering the SnagIt Twin Pack. It includes a 16-bit
version, tailored for Windows 3.1x, as well as a true 32-bit version
for Windows 95 and NT. The setup program automatically detects the
workstation's operating environment and loads the appropriate
version. The purchaser is licensed to run either version and to
switch between them without further payment. Purchasing the Twin
Pack provides the benefits of running SnagIt today without the
penalty of Windows 95 or NT upgrade fees in the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SNAGIT TWIN PACK SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to run SnagIt, your system must meet these specifications:
o An IBM PC or compatible that meets the minimum hardware
requirements for your version of Microsoft Windows.
o Microsoft Windows 3.1x, Windows For Workgroups 3.1x,
Windows NT 3.5x or Windows 95 installed and configured on your
system.
o A mouse or other pointing device
o For printed output, a Windows-supported printer that can print
bitmaps. (This includes most of the laser, dot matrix and ink jet
printers that Windows supports. Plotters are not recommended for
use with SnagIt due to their inability to print bitmaps.)
