- To you who have waited patiently for news about ScreenSnap,
-
- I have just created a new release of the shareware screen capture
- utility, ScreenSnap(TM) version 2.4 for the Macintosh(R). ScreenSnap
- 2.4 supercedes ScreenSnap 2.3, released in June 1992. I have
- since dissolved Knowledge Source, Inc., so send suggestions and
- questions directly to me now, at the address below.
-
- ScreenSnap 2.4 lets you take a snapshot of any rectangular portion
- of the Macintosh screen and save it in a window for later use. Once
- created, the snapshot can be inverted, moved, saved as a PICT file, copied
- to the Clipboard (and pasted into applications), printed, or just left hanging
- around on-screen for reference. Because ScreenSnap uses PICT format for
- its files, it can read the output of most drawing programs, and be used as
- a PICT file viewer. You can get pixel dimension information on any PICT
- file (width, height, and depth). ScreenSnap handles color, multiple monitors
- (including snapping across monitors), and multiple screensnaps. A
- screensnap can be dragged from any point in its window.
-
- ScreenSnap is useful in many situations. For example:
- - When reading electronic mail, an important message can be snapped for
- later reference.
- - When running a program, important results can be snapped and printed
- instantly.
- - When programming, screen output can be snapped and saved for later
- reference, for user interface mock-up, or for pasting into a document.
-
- You can set a default rectangle size for capture, when you need a PICT of a
- specific size.
-
- I am requesting an $11 shareware fee from people who use ScreenSnap
- 2.4; and $7 would be a generous upgrade fee, or additional amount for a
- request to get a copy via floppy disk (so a total of 11+7 = $18 for a
- new copy of 2.4 on floppy by mail -- I expect most people will get it
- from online services). Of course, the fee is entirely optional ...it's
- shareware. Try it first & then decide. Thank you.
