1.  WHAT IS SNAGIT?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Welcome! You have chosen a powerful Windows image, text, and video
  capture program that allows you many options. SnagIt 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  Professional image processing and manipulation, e.g. shrink
     screen captures while maintaining image readability.

  o  Saving a long window, even if it scrolls off-screen, with a
     single capture instead of clipping them together.

  o  Creating AVI movies from live program action on your computer 
     screen.  Also record audio at the same time from your microphone.

  o  Creating a multimedia program or computer based training (CBT).

  o  Reducing the number of repetitious steps required to capture many
     screens.

  o  Saving a screen to e-mailing it to someone else.

  o  Capturing text from applications with no cut or paste option.

  o  Easy management of large numbers of captures of any type; images, 
     text or video.

  o  Integrating SnagIt/32's capture functionality into other
     applications through its Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) support.

  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."

1.1 What is the SnagIt Twin Pack?

  Many organizations are in the early stages of the transition from
  Windows 3.1x to Windows 98 or NT.  To assist during this period,
  TechSmith is offering the SnagIt Twin Pack.  It includes a 16-bit
  version, tailored for Windows 3.1x, as well as a true 32-bit version
  for Windows 95/98 and NT. The setup program automatically detects
  the workstation's operating environment and loads the appropriate
  version.  The purchaser is licensed to run either version and to
  switch between them without further payment. Purchasing the Twin
  Pack provides the benefits of running SnagIt today without the
  penalty of Windows 95 or NT upgrade fees in the future.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  SNAGIT TWIN PACK SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  In order to run SnagIt, 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  Microsoft Windows 3.1x, Windows For Workgroups 3.1x,
     Windows 4.0 (or higher), or Windows 95/98 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 due to their inability to print bitmaps.)

2.1 Evaluation Package Contents

  Included in the SnagIt Twin Pack archive file are the following
  files:

  readme.txt      This file.
  register.txt    Product registration instructions.
