[comp.sys.sun] Photo Album Desired

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have, seen, heard about, etc, a "Photo Album" program for the
Suns?

My chief has seen me doing screendumps and screenloads, but would like to
have something more automatic, like a special key on the console, which
when pushed would freeze the screen, capture the screen in a rasterfile,
then file it in a "album".  Later, you could run an "album viewer" that
would let you thumb through the pictures you have stored.

So, before I start hacking this up myself, I was wondering if anyone has
already done this, or maybe its a part of some larger program somewhere.

I have written a program that works like a 4-head vcr with which you may
thumb through a stack of Sun Raster files.  It's got all the goodies that
you ask for from a 4H-HQ vcr (adjustable speed, still and frame stepping,
and more. Even playing backwards!!).  Furthermore, it takes raster files
of different sizes!  If you are interested in it, let me know.  I have not
yet made up my mind whether I'll give it away for free, but we'll see.
