1-- GOTCHA! GOTCHA! QUIET 2.00 --
2
3Gotcha! is an OS/2 screen capture utility. It allows to capture either windows,
4window interiors, parts of the screen or the whole desktop and save them to
5disk in many image formats (requires GBM.DLL) or clipboard.
6Serial capture and batch mode options are provided.
7
8Gotcha! comes in 2 versions the original on screen Gotcha and
9Gotcha Quiet a version that runs in the background that captures the print screen key combinations and does a capture based on your preferences.
10
11Gotcha Quiet is designed to replace the PM print screen facility and provides
12the same functionality as Gotcha! but without a visible presence on the
13Desktop.
14
15Since v1.73, Gotcha! is free software released under the GPL. See the file
16COPYING for details.

32-- INSTALLATION --
33
34Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet are distributed as a wpi archive. Use Warpin to
35install/uninstall them. You should uninstall any versions prior to 2.00 either
36with Warpin (if they were wpi archives) or manually. This is to avoid leaving
37numerous old files in place since many of the file names have changed. You
38also need to install the Generalized Bitmap Modual (GBM.DLL) by Heiko Nitzsche.
39It is installed with ArcaOS. It can be installed from the Netlabs RPM repository
40using ANPM or yum install GBM. A zip package is available on Hobbes.
41
42-- BUILDING --
43
44Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet are now built with Open Watcom. You will need
45Open Watcom C/C++ 2.0 beta 3 or higher.
46ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/open-watcom-c-os2-2.0-beta3.zip
47You can build it with older versions of the OW compiler but will need
48to change the makefiles to use RC.EXE and IPFC.EXE from the OS2 toolkit
49in place of WRC.EXE and WIPFC.EXE. In order to build the Italian and
50Brazilian Portuguese help files you need to copy IPFITA.NLS and IPFPTB.NLS
51from the IPFC directory in the OS2 Toolkit to the Watcom\wipfc directory
52and then rename them it_IT.nls and pt_BR.nls. Otherwise you need to use
53IPFC.EXE to build these help files.
54
55You also need SED.EXE, LXLITE.EXE, PERL.EXE and the exceptq developer's package.
56These are available from the netlabs RPM repository. Use ANPM to install them.
57
58The setup cmds setgot.cmd and setgoq.cmd require the 4OS2 shell. You need
59to do a complete rebuild (wmake -a) after changing from building Gotcha
60to Quiet or changing from Quiet to Gotcha Wmake clean followed by wmake
61also works.
62
63I use PMPrintf for debugging but it isn't necessary to build these.

65
66Gotcha! was originally developed under OS/2 using emx/gcc 0.9d and
67dmake 4.0. If you want to recompile the program, take a look at the Makefile
68and adjust the settings (probably only the "I" macro that tells where you
69keep your include files) and then just run dmake. The emx makefiles are still
70in the SVN but have not been tested with the version 2.00 changes
