                      PURPOSE
#######################################################
SWBCapture is a screen capture utility that allows
you to quickly and easily capture an image of any window
on your desktop, or the entire desktop.  The application
does not support capturing of random areas of the 
desktop, only individual windows.

The application can be configured to save all captures
to the clipboard, to a named file (prompted at time of
capture), or "autosaved" to a temporary file in a
directory of your choice.  

The application can save captured images to BMP, JPG,
or GIF format, and supports variable amounts of 
compression/quality for JPG formatted images.

                      USAGE
#######################################################
To use the application, simply run the SWBCAP.EXE and
click the Options button.  

Select how you would like the captured windows saved: 
to the Clipboard, to a named file (prompted at capture
time) or Autosaved to a temp file.  If you choose Auto-
Save, you should also select a directory below by
clicking the button with the Folder on it to browse
the directory tree for a folder.  Additionally, when
Auto-Save is selected, you can select to save files
with sequential file numbers appended to the name,
or with random file names.  The Base Name field
allows you to specify the starting portion of the 
file name before the sequential number or the 
random number.  If you leave the Base Name field
blank, 'CAP' is used as the base name for all
auto-saved images.

If you have chosen to capture the window images to 
a file, you should then select the image type: BMP 
(bitmap), JPG, or GIF format.  If you select JPG
format, you should use the slider to choose the 
quality of the image you want to save.  The higher
the quality you choose, the larger the resultant
physical image file will be.

Click OK to save the options, and return to the 
main window.  

To capture a screen, simply drag the small window
icon (using your left mouse button ) off of the 
SWBCapture window and over another window.  The 
cursor will change to a crosshairs when you begin 
dragging it.  It can then be dropped on any other 
window.  When you release the mouse button, the 
window under the cursor is captured.  A sound is made 
to confirm that the capture has occurred.  Make sure
you are not dragging the entire SWBCapture window. 
You should only drag the small window "icon" displayed
in the SWBCapture window.
