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 Quiet is designed to replace the PM print screen facility and provides
9the same functionality as Gotcha! but without a visible presence on the
10Desktop.
11
12Since v1.73, Gotcha! is free software released under the GPL. See the file
13COPYING for details.

15-- INSTALLATION --
16
17Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet are distributed as a wpi archive. Use Warpin to
18install/uninstall them. You should uninstall any versions prior to 2.00 either
19with Warpin (if they were wpi archives) or manually. This is to avoid leaving
20numerous old files in place since many of the file names have changed.
21
22-- BUILDING --
23
24Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet are now built with Open Watcom. You will need
25Open Watcom C/C++ 2.0 beta 3 or higher.
26ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/open-watcom-c-os2-2.0-beta3.zip
27You can build it with older versions of the OW compiler but will need
28to change the makefiles to use RC.EXE and IPFC.EXE from the OS2 toolkit
29in place of WRC.EXE and WIPFC.EXE. In order to build the Italian and
30Brazilian Portuguese help files you need to copy IPFITA.NLS and IPFPTB.NLS
31from the IPFC directory in the OS2 Toolkit to the Watcom\wipfc directory
32and then rename them it_IT.nls and pt_BR.nls. Otherwise you need to use
33IPFC.EXE to build these help files.
34
35You also need SED.EXE, LXLITE.EXE, PERL.EXE and the exceptq developer's package.
36These are available from the netlabs RPM repository. Use ANPM to install them.
37
38The setup cmds setgot.cmd and setgoq.cmd require the 4OS2 shell.
39
40I use PMPrintf for debugging but it isn't necessary to build these.

43Gotcha! was originally developed under OS/2 using emx/gcc 0.9d and
44dmake 4.0. If you want to recompile the program, take a look at the Makefile
45and adjust the settings (probably only the "I" macro that tells where you
46keep your include files) and then just run dmake. The emx makefiles are still
47in the SVN but have not been tested with the version 2.00 changes
