The latest addition to the server is 'snapshot', submitted by Rick Reeves. Here's what is does: Basically, it's a desktop delayed screendump application. I know you can grab chunks of screen with !Paint's screengrabber, but if you want pictures of your menus (e.g. for documentation of a project), that's no good. With this application, you give it a filename, the time of delay (seconds) before the picture is taken, and tell it to take the picture. Then, go and pose for the camera, get your screen looking like you want it, and watch the birdie!!! To retrieve a file a file from the archive, send a message to info-server@newcastle.ac.uk with the following content: line-limit 1000 request: sources topic: archimedes filename request: end where filename is replaced by the name of the file that you want. A filename of 'index' will send you the latest index file.
