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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  In order to run SnagIt/32, your system must meet these specifications:

  o  An IBM PC or compatible that meets the minimum hardware
     requirements for your version of Microsoft Windows.

  o  Windows NT 3.51 (or higher) or Windows 95 installed and
     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.)

2.1 Evaluation Package Contents

  Included in the SnagIt/32 archive file are the following files:

  file_id.diz     Describes the contents of the archive file.
  readme.txt      This file.
