SnapShot/32 allows you to capture any part of Windows 95 or Windows NT
desktop and whatever is displayed on it. The picture can be printed or
saved as a bitmap (BMP) or GIF file for further processing. To install
this program, just uncompress the SNAPxxx.ZIP file to an empty directory
on your hard disk and add it's icon to Windows 95/NT.
SnapShot/32 is a shareware software that should be registered with it's
author. To register this copy of SnapShot/32, start the program
SNAP32.EXE and select the "Register" function under "Help" menu.
Usage of SnapShot/32 is very simple. Just select one of the functions
under "Snapshot" menu:
Desktop - capture the whole desktop (all you can see on the screen)
Rectangle - cross-cursor will appear. Click with left mouse button
where you want the capture rectangle to start, then rubber-band a
rectangle to enclose the desired region, and click the left mouse
button again. Click right mouse button at any time to abort this
function.
Window - click with the left mouse button on any window you want to
capture. The whole window, together with title bar and borders will
be included. If you click inside a window, you may get only one of
it's sub-windows instead. If this happens, try again, but click
rather on a title bar or a frame of the window you want.
Client - capture client area of a window, i.e. it's inside, without
title bar or borders.
When the capture is finished, you can view the image in SnapShot/32
window. Next you can copy it to the clipboard for processing in other
programs supporting Windows Device Independent Bitmap format by
selecting Edit/Copy function, save to BMP or GIF file or print it.
Starting with version 2.30 there are some advanced options available:
"Repeat last capture" function and hot-key.
"Auto capture and save" feature - save pre-defined screen area to a file
every time the "Repeat last capture" hot key is pressed, or a specified
time elapses.
"Save with cursor image included" option.
Please read the "Help" screens while working with SnapShot/32 to learn
more about them.
