I need something which will allow me to take a picture of the screen with pull-down menus pulled down. I'm sure I downloaded some from sumex not too long ago, played with them and tossed them because I didn't have much success and not enough need for them to figure out what I was doing wrong. Now I can't find them anywhere and (isn't it always the way?) have a desperate need for them as I'm giving a Mac-networking demo in a week and a half. Please if you know where I can find some utility or something (esp. if you know it works) which will let me do this, send me a note. Many, many thanks, == Daniel == --------------------------- D.

Daniel - Give a try on FLASH-IT v.2.1 at SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU (anonymous FTP). It's in /info-mac/cdev/ directory. - Nobu Toge (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) #include <StdDisClaimer.h>

Daniel Sternbergh >ddaniel@lindy.stanford.edu There is a commercial INIT/CDEV called "Capture" (by Mainstay) that will do what you want. It is easy to use, and provides for some cutomizing of the activation keystrokes. I have seen Capture in operation, and it appeared to be well-suited to its purpose. It seems to work no matter what is visible on the screen, or what the user is supposed to be doing, so just about anything can be captured (except system bombs :)). Sorry I can't help with how to find Mainstay. Hope this helps. Mike Tollerton PAR Technology Corp uunet!adiron!miket 220 Seneca Turnpike (315) 738 - 0600 New Hartford NY 13403

There is a public-domain INIT called MenuPicture that will patch the current
"screen save" software to allow you to capture screen when a menu is pulled
down. I can't find it on sumex-aim, so if anyone wants a copy, mail me
your address and I'll batch-mail y'all one. It's only a few k (less than 10
I think), so it's no biggie.

It is a DA and is invoked by a hot-key. It can save as PICT or MacPaint and can also reopen a previously saved image. Ken Warner

[deleted] Flash-It is another screen capture utility (shareware by Nabu Toge $10) that will let you capture any portion of a screen including pull-down menus. You can capture to the clipboard, file, printer, or scrapbook. It is a very nicely done utility. ** Ken ** -- Ken Knight, Ken.Knight@f421.n109.z1.fidonet.org via The Black Cat's Shack's FidoNet<->Usenet Gateway blkcat.fidonet.org and Fidonet 1:109/401
