USER'S GUIDE

Just copy the program (SCAP.EXE) to your Windows directory. You
can launch it by using Program Manager (F)ile (R)un steps. Or you
can first install the program icon into one of Program Manager's
folders and start the software by double click on SCap icon.
Consult your Windows User's Guide on how to setup the program icon.

After you start SCap, you can first select the destination either
to the Windows clipboard, a printer, or a file by clicking on one
of the menu items under Destination menu title. Currently, we only
support Windows 3.1 bitmap format for file output (.BMP).

To capture an image, select an item under Capture menu title.
Depends on what image you want to capture, you can choose one of
the following menu items:

Screen - capture the whole Windows screen image.
Area   - capture an area image on the Windows screen.
Window - capture a window image.
Client - capture the client area of a window (no border, title, and
         menu bar).

Some notes:

1. While capturing image, the SCap window will hide itself and
   the window that is active before SCap activated will be
   activated again. After the capturing is done, the SCap will
   reappear and become active window.

2. After you select 'Area' menu item to capture image within selected
   area, the mouse cursor will change to crosshair. You now can use
   mouse to drag an area to capture the image of that area.

3. After you select Window or Client menu item to capture window
   image, the window that is current pointed by the mouse cursor
   will be enclosed in a bold rectangle. Just move the cursor to the
   window you want and click the left mouse button, then the window's
   image will be captured.

To use hot keys, first select "Config Hotkeys..." menu item. A dialog
box will pop up and let you configure hotkeys. Click on checkbox
"Enable Hotkeys." This will activate the hotkey edit boxes. If you
prefer the default "Shift-Ctrl-s" and "Shift-Ctrl-a" values, then
click OK button. Otherwise, enter the preferred character for your
own hotkeys. After these, you should be able to capture the
screen/window by using hotkeys. For example, if you use the default
"Shift-Ctrl-s" for capturing screen, then hold down Shift key, Ctrl
key, and 's' key at the same time will activate the SCap to capture
the whole screen. The destination for this image is the selected
destination under 'Destination' menu title.
