That's a new one to me. Is it on an ftp site somewhere?

The one I'm familiar with is "PNG Floyd" by Kelvin Sherlock...

....which saves the SHR screen as a PNG graphic.

I'm not sure. I've had it for quite some time but I may have downloaded
it from Delphi. It doesn't appear to be on the Trenco site and I can't
check my Time In A Bottle CDs at present to see if it is there.

I'd forgotten about that one. I downloaded it but I guess I never got
around to installing it. Mind you, I've been meaning to reinstall GS/OS
for a while and get my inits, DAs and such sorted out because I have a
lot installed and some enabled and some disabled. I'm sure I can find
some more interesting patches and add ons from things like SoftDiskGS
and my other CD compilations.

Actually , you can use a good capture program for Windows , this is the case if you are using Applewin at the time , not sure if you meant on using a capture program via the Apple II. But... Snagit is a great capture program , does a great job capturing what's on screen , did alot of saves of crack screens and what not , for future references and what not...

See ya.
