Text item: Text_1

Thank you to the six people who responded so quickly to my query.  (My
apologies for the lag in posting the summary.)  Note that under PRNTSCRN
there is a reference to a trade magazine software review.  I haven't found
the issue in our corporate library, but perhaps it will be useful to
someone else out there in TECHWR-Land.

PM Camera /2
   Supports OS/2 BMP, OS/2 clipboard, PSEG38PP, and Postscript formats.  It
   can capture whole screen, one window, or selected portion of
   screen/window.  No information about how well it works with WinWord or
   WordPerfect.  To obtain, try contacting an IBM retailer, rep, or 1-800
   number.  (Yes, it available outside of IBM.)

PRNTSCRN 2.0
   Works even now on Ferengi with the CSD (OS/2 for Windows 2.11).  It
   makes great bitmaps that you can color-map or dither.  You can also
   convert the image to a file in either Win BMP, OS/2 BMP, GIF, TIFF, and
   some others I can't remember.

   Recently it was either OS/2 Professional or OS/2 Magazine which
   reviewed six screen capture utilities, and PRNTSCRN came out
   on top with one reservation: no Postscript capabilities.
