*** What SnagIt is ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SnagIt is a Microsoft Windows 3.0 documentation tool.  With SnagIt you
can place great looking screen shot and images into your
documentation. One of SnagIt's key features is its full support for
Windows dynamic data exchange (DDE).  With DDE SnagIt may be
integrated with any application that supports DDE.  Included with the
commercial program is a macro that demonstrates the ease with which
SnagIt may be integrated with Microsoft Word for Windows.

SnagIt is a new product which has gone through extensive beta and
quality testing.  Thousands of users have down loaded previous free
demo versions.  Now SnagIt is available in a fully functional "try
before you buy" version.

Also available are multi-user licenses and quantity discounts.

*** Corporate Windows Writers and Users ***

Creating documentation for your applications can be a frustrating
task. Inmporting Windows screens or images into your manual, report or
proposal is a cumbersom, time-consuming task that can try the patience
of the most adept user.  SnagIt simplifies the documentation process.

*** Windows Software Developers ***

Adding screen printing capability to your Microsoft Windows
applications is now easier than ever with the commercial version of
SnagIt.  With the use of DDE your application can control all aspects
of SnagIt.
