Installation Instructions and Help
----------------------------------
 The GrabIt Pro program files are in compressed format. You must run the
 GPSETUP program to expand them before the program can be used.  The
 setup program will create a Program Manager group and add the program
 files and other important files to the group.   

 Step 1
 Running The GPSETUP Program
 ----------------------------
 After extracting the GrabIt Pro ZIP file to either a directory on your hard
 drive or to a floppy drive. Start Windows and make sure that the Windows
 Program Manager is running.  You MUST run GPSETUP.EXE from the Windows Program 
 Manager.

 1. From the Program Manager File Menu choose Run...
 2. Enter the location of the GPSETUP Program. If the files were on your
    A: drive then you would enter: A:\GPSETUP and press Enter or Click on
    the OK button.
 3. The GrabIt Pro setup dialog will be displayed.
 4. The edit field will display a suggested directory.
 5. Press OK to accept the default directory or enter new destination
    directory and press Enter or Click on the OK button.
 6. The setup program will create the directory for you and display
    the file installation progress.
 7. When it has finished expanding and copying the files it will create
    a new Program Manager Group and add the program files to the group.

                  Important Information On Version 4.1
     ==============================================================

 ***********************************
 Important Note - First Time Startup
 ************************************
 The FIRST TIME you start GrabIt Pro it writes its configuration
 information to disk and then EXITS to save it.  This is the only
 time it will do this.  Many of you called to ask what happened
 to the program after the first two Shareware information screens
 were displayed. The answer is that the program ended!  Nothing is 
 wrong with the program and all you have to do is re-start it.  
 We opted for this route versus making you hit an OK button 
 just to tell you that you will need to re-start the program.  

 The Users Manual
 ----------------
 The MANUAL.WRI file is the program user's manual. It has been 
 carefully written and typeset in Windows Write format using Times New
 Roman 10 Point Font and formatted for a laser printer.
 All of the directions are written in an easy to follow 1 2 3 step format. 
 Please take the time to read the manual before calling for technical support.

 New Features In Version 4.1

 * Capture Directly To The Printer - Yes Print Screen For Windows!

 You can capture either the windows desktop, a selected area, or a window 
 capture directly to the printer.  At the same time the capture is also 
 places into a child window so that you can save it to disk or re-print 
 it if necessary.  This option is available in the registered version only.  
 If you need this functionality and can't wait for the mail, registering
 by phone will get you a registration number that will activate all of 
 GrabIt Pro's functionality immediately.

 You can now specify exactly how large or small to print an image on the 
 currently selected paper in your printer.  In addition you can select the 
 beat fit to page option which will do the calculations necessary for the
 best possible quality printout  The third option lets you tell the printer
 to stretch the image to fill the page completely with the image.  This option
 is available in the registered version only.  If you need this functionality
 and can't wait for the mail, registering by phone will get you a registration
 number that will activate all of GrabIt Pro's functionality immediately.

 * Drag and Drop Client
 Now you can drag bitmap and rle files from file manager and drop them on
 GrabIt Pro to open them.  GrabIt Pro makes a wonderful graphics clipboard
 when you are working with a large number of images.  Open them in GrabIt Pro
 child windows and copy them to other sources as needed.

 * Right Mouse Button Menu
 Now you can access the most often used functions by just clicking the right
 mouse button on any GrabIt Pro child window.  You have the option of Opening
 a file, Saving a file, Copy or Paste, and Print all at the click of the
 right mouse button.

 Remember To Use The System Menu 
 -------------------------------
 Remember that when GrabIt Pro is minimized ALL of the capture commands
 are available from the system menu.  Just click once on the GrabIt Pro icon
 at the bottom of your desktop to display the system menu.  This allows you
 to capture images without having the GrabIt Pro window in your way.  When
 you are done with a capture session restore GrabIt Pro to its normal size
 window by double clicking on it.  All of your captures will be ready to view
 with each capture in its own child window.

 The register.txt file has complete registration information if you have any 
 questions and the register.frm file is our software order form.

 New Detailed Documentation and Help
 -----------------------------------
 The documentation is now typeset in windows write format and gives a
 complete description of each command available from the GrabIt Pro Menus.
 The help file has been expanded and makes it extremely easy to find and get
 help on any command you have a question about.
