SnapShot 3 Installation Notes

Introduction:

SnapShot 3 is an easy-to-use screen capture for Windows. SnapShot 3
works like a camera. When you Load Film, your right mouse button 
becomes your shutter for capturing images. Once the right button is activated
you can take a screen capture at any time. You do not need to switch back
and for between SnapShot 3 and your other applications. 

You can take a screen capture of any window, any dialog, the entire
desktop, icons, menus as well as any portion of the screen.

You can set SnapShot 3 to automatically copy each screen capture to the 
clipboard or a file.

SnapShot 3 supports access from other applications as a server via 
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE). Client applications can setup SnapShot 3
as well as perform screen captures via DDE commands. Also, Client applications
can request or setup advise connections for the current screen capture.

Other features include:
	
   A Toolbar for easy access to commands.

   A Status Line displaying imformation about the current capture.

   The ability to Save and Open bitmap files. During a save you can modify 
   the dimensions of the capture for size (original, stretched to client size 
	or full screen) and type (monochrome, 16 color, 256 color or 24bpp).

   The ability to Print screen captures.

   A variety of options such as:

      Automatically Load Film.
      Restore after capture.
      Hide during capture.
      Capture only the client area.
      Automatically copy to clipboard.
      Ignore Right Button in Client Area.
