| 3 | Gotcha! is an OS/2 screen capture utility. It allows to capture either windows, window interiors, parts of the screen or the whole desktop and save them to disk in many image formats (if OS/2 Multimedia is installed) or clipboard. Serial capture and batch mode options are available.
|

|

| 5 | Since v1.73, Gotcha! is free software released under the GPL. See the file COPYING for details.

| 10 | As another exception the Italian translation (italiano.rc and

| 14 | -- INSTALLATION --
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | If you've unzipped the archive (which seems to be the case, since you
|
|---|
| 17 | are reading this file ;-) and copied the files to some appropriate
|
|---|
| 18 | directory, you're almost done.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | The only thing else you'll have to do is to copy the file "gotcha.dll"
|
|---|
| 21 | to some directory in your LIBPATH (x:\OS2\DLL e.g.).
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | You may run "install.cmd" to create a WPS-object for Gotcha!.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | Note that the actual executable is in the "distr" subdirectory;
|
|---|
| 26 | if you're not interested in developement, the files there are
|
|---|
| 27 | probably the only ones of interest for you.

| 30 | -- BUILDING --
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | Gotcha! was originally developed under OS/2 using emx/gcc 0.9d and
|
|---|
| 33 | dmake 4.0. I can't say if it would be hard to adjust it for other
|
|---|
| 34 | compilers or make utilities (though I guess it will need some work to port it to another OS due to missing seperation of program logic and system specific issues like e.g. windowing - aka: bad code). If you want to recompile the program, take a look at the Makefile and adjust the settings (probably only the "I" macro that tells where you keep your include files) and then just run dmake.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | The code is rather bad in most places and the whole program needs a
|
|---|
| 37 | major rewrite, which I have been working on for a long (time since
|
|---|
| 38 | the release of v1.65 in 1999!) but which is only very slowly progressing due to my permanent lack of time.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | Update May 2007: Forget about the rewrite; I have neither the time nor the user interest for it. Sorry!
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | -- NOTE --
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | If you get a SYS2070 error when starting this version of Gotcha! you have an old version of the file gotcha.dll somewhere in your LIBPATH.
|
|---|
| 46 | Delete it and everything should work.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | There also still seem to be some bugs/problems that cause a SYS3175
|
|---|
| 49 | on some systems. Unfortunatly I haven't been able to find out what the actual problem is or how to fix it. You might try an older version of Gotcha! (all still available on the homepage) but I don't think chances are high that one of those will work.
