There are lots of screen capture utilities available as shareware. I have used Snagit (by TechSmith Corp) to develop user training manuals, document bugs, dump screens to printer, bmp, pcx, tif, gif, and jpg format. Will take full screen, region, entire window, etc. Its a pretty good tool and easy to use. Received on Thu Jan 16 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
