I want to be able to capture a Windows 3.0 window and/or screen to a TIFF file for placement into PageMaker. Computer Presentations, Inc. will be shipping ImagePrep Windows for Windows 3 in 2-3 weeks for $295. (513) 281-3222 Is there anything out there for cheap/free that can do this for me? It's OK to go to GIF first, since I have software to convert GIF to TIFF. Phil Harriman paha@uhura.cc.rochester.edu

All you need to do is press the print screen key. This will copy the current screen to the clipboard which than can be pasted into what ever application you want. (I think Pagemaker can take bitmaps from the clipboard, but not sure.) Anyways, you can also just send the current selected window (the one with the focus) to the clipboard. I think its ALT-PrintScrn, but I'm not sure (I don't have the manual here.) Anyways its all described in the Windows 3.0 manual!! -Dean Wallwey ****************************************************************************** *-Dean Wallwey wallwey@snoopy.colorado.edu or wallwey@128.138.238.103 * *"If people drove cars like they run computers, 5% of the driving population * *would die every business day in automobile accidents!" * * #define DISCLAIMER \ * * The above comments are my own and not necessarly that of my employer or\ * * school. grammer, spelling errors, real heavy flames > NULL * ******************************************************************************
