I know this has been asked before, but I wasn't paying attention... I need a screen dump utility that can take a snapshot of the screen *while a menu is pulled down*, and put the snapshot into a file (I'm not too picky about the file format). -- thanks, tom lane Internet: tgl@cs.cmu.edu UUCP: <your favorite internet/arpanet gateway>!cs.cmu.edu!tgl BITNET: tgl%cs.cmu.edu@cmuccvma CompuServe: >internet:tgl@cs.cmu.edu

I use Capture by Mainstay that will allow you to capture menus that are pulled down. But that costs money and we need share ware, correct? There are three shareware screen capture programs that I know of UTIL/SCREEN-TO-CLIP.HQX UTIL/SCREENDUMP-II.HQX UTIL/SCREENSNAP-22.HQX of which I have only used screensnap which cannot do what you want. I don't know anything about the other two. Does anyone else? I know that in the dim dark past there was a DA that would wait a given amount of time before taking a picture and would then capture pull down menus. I think that name had a camera in it. Let's look at the archives: DA/CAMERA.HQX This may be it, give it a try.

It is commercial, but it's also fairly cheap and they've been good at supporting and upgrading it. Their new version handles multiple file formats, among other enhancements. I recommend it. -------- Andy Ihlenfeldt 3M, St. Paul, MN arihlenfeldt@mmm.hesd.3m.com
