Geoff,

I have used Linkesoft's ScreenShot Hack on my Palm IIIc (standard display) 
and since a few days I use it on a Sony Clie PEG-SJ30 (HiRes display). It 
works perfect, and with the supplied Windows conduit the screenshots are 
stored as BMP, PNG, GIF, or JPG files on the PC at every HotSync. Of course 
they can be viewed on the Palm too.

I cannot fully recommend the emulator because the emulator doesn't run every 
application. - If you use a HiRes device with PalmOS 4.x HRCaptDA can be a 
solution. It is freeware and available from 
http://crspalm.hp.infoseek.co.jp/#hrsda; LaunchPlug as a review and some 
helpful information (http://www.launchplug.com/HRCaptDA.html). Another 
screenshot utility is ScrShot (http://www.fatal-error.com/scrshot.html), but 
I have never tested it.

Regards,

Gunther
