- 1. WHAT IS SNAGIT/32?
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Welcome! SnagIt/32 is the Windows NT and Windows 95 version of the
- popular screen capture utility, SnagIt. SnagIt has been providing
- Microsoft Windows users with an easy way to capture and print
- Windows screens since it was first released in 1990. In "Windows 3.1
- Secrets," author Brian Livingston calls SnagIt "the print utility
- Microsoft Windows forgot."
-
- SnagIt/32 is a powerful Windows image, text, and video capture
- program that allows you many options. SnagIt/32 is for any computer
- user who needs to capture more than a few screens for any purpose,
- such as:
-
- o Capturing screens and menus in a Windows program to create
- documentation.
-
- o Saving a screen to send to someone else.
-
- o Printing screens to help plan program design changes.
-
- o Saving a long window, even if it scrolls off-screen, with a
- single capture instead of clipping them together.
-
- o Creating a multimedia program or computer based training (CBT).
-
- o Integrating SnagIt/32's capture functionality into other
- applications through it's Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) support.
-
- o Reducing the number of repetitious steps required to capture many
- screens.
-
- o Capturing AVI movies from live program action on
- your computer screen.
-
- o Capturing text files from screens.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. SNAGIT/32 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

- requirements for your version of Microsoft Windows.

- 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/32 due to their inability to print bitmaps.)
