Introduction:
Welcome to Shotgun 1.0. This application represents
a new type of 32 bit software that we at Maidens Software call
Thinware. This is software designed to perform a specific function
really well, without the overhead of a larger application.
Shotgun 1.0 is a screen scraper. You merely start it up, and
everytime you press Ctrl-Shift-W, Shotgun takes a picture of your
active Window. You can then Print, Save, E-Mail, Cut and Copy the
screen shot as you need.
We built Shotgun because we don't think you should have to pay a lot
for a utility this simple, and yet there are many times when you wish
you could just copy a screen and send it to someone or print it out
for future reference. Shotgun performs this function, performs it
well, and doesn't eat up a bunch of RAM or disk space doing it.
There's no Help in Shotgun, it doesn't need any. It's so simple
to use, if you need any Help with it, just ask someone who has been
using a PC for a while. Shotgun does have some great
hidden features though. For instance, it can Load Windows Bitmaps
for printing or e-mail, it can Paste from the Windows clipboard,
it can also Save a Windows Meta-File.
Setting It Up:
To set up Shotgun 1.0, Run the program SETUP.EXE that is provided
with the disk. You can do this by following these steps:
1. Press the "Start" button on your Windows desktop.
2. Choose "RUN" from the menu.
3A. Type in the full path to SETUP.EXE
(example: C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE).
--OR--
3B. Press "Browse" and locate the SETUP.EXE file. Press "OK".
4. Press "OK".
Shotgun will run an installer to guide you through the installation
process.
Tips for Use:
1. Set your Printer's Graphics resolution to the highest setting.
If you have a choice for dithering, set it to it's finest
setting.
2. Your e-mail client must be running for the "Send" feature
in Shotgun to work. Also, you must first save your bitmap
as a file before trying to e-mail it.
