Re: Screen Captures in UNIX

Thanks everyone for your quick input! I was asking the question for someone
else, so I don't know the details. But, I will pass the following summary
along:

If using...		Try...
Solaris		Snapshot
			(believe HP-UX and AIX have similar utilities.)

UNIX			Snag-It & PaintShopPro (to reverse background and text)

UNIX			xv (http://www.trilon.com/xv/xv.html)
			written by John Bradley and can be purchased through him.

X windows		1. From a terminal window, type xwd > mypic.xwd
			2. To view the screenshot, type xwud mypic.xwd
			I am working from memory, but hopefully those are 			the steps. Most UNIX
			graphics programs can handle and convert XWD 			files. If yours doesn't,
get
			the freely available GIMP, which I'm sure does.

CDE  			"Snapshot" and "Image Viewer" 

Linux			gimp comes with the Red Hat installation.


IRIX			utility that ships with the product called 			"snapshot" that
enables you to do full-screen or 			regions. 

Sun			the Snapshot utility listed
			under the Programs menu works

Unix			GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/the_gimp.html)
			It's awesome, it's free, and it's comparable to 			PhotoShop. The home
page has links to online 				tutorials and manuals.

XV and GIMP seem to be the favorites!
