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. Serial capture and
6batch mode options are provided.
7
8Gotcha! comes in 2 versions: the original on-screen Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet,
9a version that runs in the background and captures the Print Screen key
10combinations and does a capture based on your preferences.
11
12Gotcha Quiet is designed to replace the PM print screen facility and provides
13the same functionality as Gotcha! but without a visible presence on the
14Desktop.
15
16Since v1.73, Gotcha! is free software released under the GPL. See the file
17COPYING for details.

33-- INSTALLATION --
34
35Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet are distributed as a wpi archive. Use Warpin to
36install/uninstall them. You should uninstall any versions prior to 2.00 either
37with Warpin (if they were wpi archives) or manually. This is to avoid leaving
38numerous old files in place since many of the file names have changed. You also
39need to install the Generalized Bitmap Module (GBM.DLL) by Heiko Nitzsche. It
40is installed with ArcaOS. It can be installed from the Netlabs RPM repository
41using ANPM or yum install GBM. A zip package is available on Hobbes.
42
43-- BUILDING --
44
45Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet are now built with Open Watcom. You will need
46Open Watcom C/C++ 2.0 beta 3 or higher:
47ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/open-watcom-c-os2-2.0-beta3.zip
48
49You can build it with older versions of the OW compiler but will need to change
50the makefiles to use RC.EXE and IPFC.EXE from the OS2 toolkit in place of
51WRC.EXE and WIPFC.EXE.
52
53In order to build the Italian and Brazilian Portuguese help files you need to
54copy IPFITA.NLS and IPFPTB.NLS from the IPFC directory in the OS2 Toolkit to
55the Watcom\wipfc directory and then rename them it_IT.nls and pt_BR.nls.
56Otherwise you need to use IPFC.EXE to build these help files.
57
58You also need SED.EXE, LXLITE.EXE, PERL.EXE and the exceptq developer's
59package. These are available from the Netlabs RPM repository. Use ANPM to
60install them.
61
62The setup cmds setgot.cmd and setgoq.cmd require the 4OS2 shell. You need to do
63a complete rebuild (wmake -a) after changing from building Gotcha to Quiet or
64changing from Quiet to Gotcha. "Wmake clean" followed by "wmake" also works.
65
66I, Gregg Young, use PMPrintf for debugging but it isn't necessary to build.

68
69Gotcha! was originally developed under OS/2 using emx/gcc 0.9d and
70dmake 4.0. If you want to recompile the program, take a look at the Makefile
71and adjust the settings (probably only the "I" macro that tells where you keep
72your include files) and then just run dmake. The emx makefiles are still in the
73SVN but have not been tested with the version 2.00 changes
