  15.                   If you've tried to take screenshots of
  16.                   3Dfx games you may have noticed that
  17.                   traditional screen capture utilities
  18.                   don't work. This utility will allow you
  19.                   to take screen shots by grabbing what's
  20.                   currently in the frame buffer of your
  21.                   Voodoo board.
  22.  
  23.                   Instructions
  24.  
  25.                   Use this utility in Windows 95. Start
  26.                   up the game you wish to take a
  27.                   screenshot of. When you're ready to
  28.                   take the screenshot, go back to your
  29.                   Windows 95 desktop (do not exit the
  30.                   game) -- you can do this using the
  31.                   ALT-TAB keyboard sequence (if that
  32.                   doesn't work, try CTRL-ALT-DEL to take
  33.                   you to the task manager). From your
  34.                   desktop click on the START menu, and
  35.                   choose RUN. Type
  36.  
  37.                   [drive]:\[directory]\grab -ft
  38.                   [filename]
  39.  
  40.                   where [drive]:\[directory] is the name
  41.                   of the drive and directory the grab.exe
  42.                   file is located (e.g., c:\utils) and
  43.                   [filename] is the name of the picture
  44.                   you want to save (e.g., descent2). The
  45.                   utility will grab the contents of the
  46.                   frame buffer and save it as a Targa
  47.                   file in the same directory as the grab
  48.                   program is located.
  49.  
  50.                   This is an unsupported utility. DO NOT
  51.                   contact 3Dfx Interactive,
  52.                   Diamond, or Orchid regarding its use.
