Of course, the "enlightened-self-interest" approach to picking a
screen capture program is to choose either SnagIt (www.techsmith.com)
or Hypersnap-DX (www.hyperionics.com). Why's that in your enlightened
self-interest? Because they're both really good products and
because they're advertisers on TECHWR-L and, as such, help make
this forum available to you.
I'd check them out first.
Note: We've used Hypersnap for years--for all the screenshots in most of our
books--and started using Snagit when it appeared packaged with RoboHelp.
We'd be recommending them even if they didn't advertise here.
