USAGE

Press Ctrl-Alt-S to save the entire screen or press Ctrl-Alt-A to save a part of

After pressing Ctrl-Alt-A you see a crosshair you can move with the mouse.
Click with the left mouse button on the top left edge and then click on the
bottom right corner to mark the area to be saved. Now press the right mouse
button to save the hatched area or press the left mouse button again to get the
crosshair back and start again.

If you press the right mouse button while you see the crosshair, you can choose
a window to be saved by moving the mouse over it. After choosing a window, press
the right mouse button to save it or press the left mouse button to get the

Hardcopies are saved using datatypes resulting in IFF pictures.

The crosshair by default is red. With the space bar you can cycle through
different colors: red -> green -> black -> white
