Hmm, I can't find the original message, and Kelly's address isn't in
Shorter's reply, so I hope this gets to Kelly...

Anyway, there are numerous shareware and freeware graphics packages
available for OS/2 that do screen captures; my personal favorite is
PMView, which supports full-screen, window, window contents, and
area-of-screen (seletable with crosshairs) captures, and has many
excellent image-manipulation functions as well (although it's NOT a paint
program).  Others include Embellish (formerly Applause), ImpOS/2,
ColorWorks, PMJPEG, and PMCamera (off the top of my head).

There is also a utility called PrntScrn that will redirect the
PrintScreen key to capture to the clipboard, rather than to the print
spooler (a la Windows ALT-PRTSCRN).


 Your friend and mine,
