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.
FullShot 3.0 allows you to convert color images to grayscale or b&w. It
is also an excellent screen capture utility.
It is compiled for either Window 3.1 or Windows 95, but one of the
versions (the 3.1 version) will also run on OS/2 (I Think?!?)
