I'm looking for a decent UNIX screen capture program.
I'd like to be able to capture whole screens, windows
and areas of the screen; and do the odd bit of
fiddling around with the captured images.
Any recommendations?
cheers,

Hijaack Pro will capture anything and will allow you to fiddle around
with it. Wanting just whole windows, I found Hijaak Pro more than I
needed. I just use the Alt key + the Print Screen key to capture the
window and then paste the image directly into my AMI PRO documents. For
WinHelp use, I run the captures through Paint Shop Pro to reduce the
number of colors to 16.
