[comp.os.os2.apps] Screen Capture Utilities for OS/2

bradc@cognos.UUCP (Brad Cameron) (05/31/91)

I hope someone can assist me in locating software to do the following.

We need to do high-quality screen captures of PM screens using OS/2 v1.3.
Ideally, such a utility must capture user-selectable portions of the
screen into a file format that may be brought into a Mac product for
subsequent annotating, etc.  We have several Mac products such as paint
programs, Pagemaker, etc.  I think TIFF and PCX are good formats for us.
The problem is that we are using XGA (and 8514/A ie. 1024 x 768 x 256)
and none of the capture utilities we have produce good enough quality
captures.

Does anyone know of any good products that would do the above task?
Ideally, it should do a color-grayscale conversion, and produce a
capture as close as possible to what is seen on the screen.  Also nice
would be the ability to capture modal things such as pull-down menus,
etc. using a timer or a full-screen/partial-screen two-step capture.

Any recommendations or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
