Actually, the best way to take screen shots with a Mac II is to use a nifty FKEY called ColorImageFKEY. The source code appeared in the Feb 88 issue of MacTutor (in Lightspeed Pascal form). What ColorImage does is to replace the standard Command-Shift-3 FKEY with one that allows snapshots of either the active window or the entire screen and creates color images on a Mac II. It also prompts you for the name of the file to create instead of just naming them SCREEN0, SCREEN1 etc... The other good news is that the files created are PICT files which means you can import them into PixelPaint, MS PowerPoint, MacDraw II etc... I have the compiled code and could post it to comp.binaries.mac if someone would e-mail instructions on how to do it. ----- L.

Hi there, sorry if you have seen this posting before, but I have not received any answers to this problem so I am asking again. Has anyone got a RELIABLE way of producing dumps of the screen to a PICT file? PICT2 that is, I want to do an article where I describe processing an image with the help of screen dumps of various stages of the process. I really need something like camara that lets me set a delay before dumping the screen image to disk. It MUST be multi-monitor aware. Am I asking too much? PLease dont suggest the application Dumper, unless there has been a major upgrade. I can only get it to dump the menubar and currently active window using the color dump to disk fkey. I seem to have tried all the alternatives and it doesnt work for me so are there any other options. Thanks Very Much.

Someone (sorry, forgot who) mentioned a product called Exposure, by
Preferred Publishers. Does anybody have a phone number for that company?
We're VERY interested in getting that product. Thanks.

I'd try MacConnection, Programs Plus, or MacWarehouse first, as their prices are sure to be cheaper than the publishers and you will probably get it delivered quicker. --scott -- Scott Truesdell
