I need to take some screen shots with menus pulled down. I'm sure that this has been solved many times in the past -- but the utilities that I have found don't seem to work. Does anyone know af a reliable utility -- and where to get it? System: 7.0 or 6.0.5 Machine: SE/30 (with an external monitor)o Thanks. Bruce Beare bjb@pyramid.com

It does the job as long as I put the menu bar on the 9-inch screen. The about box doesn't say whether it's shareware or freeware -- Does anyone know? Bruce

This DOES note work with a DeskWriter (at least), so you'll end up tying up your machine for several minutes while it prints garbage if you don't remember to select the correct output option. Camera doesn't remember the settings, either. This a standard technique for writing documentation, so I'm sure that there are better methods out there. -- Bill (johnston@minnie.me.udel.edu)

Try Flash-It, its a Control Panel and I think its shareware. I know its 7-compatible, and it should be ok on sys6. It's available at Sumex-but only with some weird name. fprefect@caen.engin.umich.edu Matt Slot (to the real world)

It is configurable in several ways (dump to file, to printer..., with pointer, without pointer...) -- Brian Aslakson brian@cs.umn.edu (mail) aslakson@cs.umn.edu (talk) mac-admin@cs.umn.edu (Me!!)

Brian Bechtel just announced a week ago that he put such a utility on ftp.apple.com (130.43.2.3). Also, there is some DTS sample code that does this (it's the FKEY sample -- I forget which number it is). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.
