TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Also, some time ago, if you check the archives, there was an offer for a
free older version of SnagIt. Not sure if it's still around, but worth
checking into.
Alternatively, maybe you can download a trial of the latest version of
SnagIt, use it for the project and then present the spiffy results as a
way to persuade your bosses to spring for it?

Subject: Screen Capture Software?
Hi all,
I haven't gotten the okay from my company for SnagIt, and I need a good
screen capture software for a Help Manual I'm working on.
I've read something about Shup, which is freeware and seems to have good
reviews.
Does anyone have any experience with this software? Or any other
alternatives that I can use?
I hate using the word method of taking a screen shot, because then I
can't capture JUST what I need and the time to fix it takes forever.
