This program will either capture graphics or text and keep them in memory for later use. If you want to capture a graphic, just go the the screen, draw 'the box' it gives you around what you want to copy (ie: the GIF picture being displayed) and it'll keep it for you. You then are able to save it to disk as an IFF file. 2) Problem: to capture a whole-screen pic, I think you need more than 1MEG, but I'm not sure about that. 3) I think it's on FISH disk 247 4) it will capture any displayed picture.

What kind of limitations do they have (pessimist here) The PBMPLUS programs do a fine job, although they're somewhat memory hungry. giftoppm, ppmtoilbm, as well as color quantization and scaling programs to fill the gaps. >3.
