[comp.sys.amiga] screen image --> IFF?

mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu (Michael Portuesi) (09/22/87)

I am looking for a freely redistributable program to grab a screen image and
save it as an IFF file, so I can print it on a LaserWriter using the IFF to
PostScript program.  I have about 15 images to print for a computer graphics
course I am taking, and using the GraphicDump program with an Epson JX-80
produces output suitable for lining a birdcage at the rate of 20 minutes per
picture.

If you can give me a pointer to a place where such a program can be obtained
via FTP, or if you can send me the program (executable preferred) I would be
most grateful.

   There should be at least one (my ScreenSave) in comp.amiga.sources.
There was another posted a while back which saved all viewports as IFF
files.  My ScreenSave is also on Fish Disk #64.  Make sure you get the
version that saves a CAMG chunk (i.e. not the old original version).
