- If this is what you need, then you can just take screen snapshots off
- of the IRIS (e.g. using snapshot), convert them to an image file format
- of your choice (e.g. GIF or Mac format), and use whatever image-file
- viewer you have (e.g. xv). From your description, this should
- do what you need, and it's pretty straightforward.
