I think that has worked since windows 95 - using PrintScrn will copy
the screen to the clipboard, then using paint brush to save it as a BMP.

I was thinking about doing this - would a Visual Basic front end be OK,
which just called the tools Dirk has written.
i.e. Would anyone have a problem with using a proprietary M$ langauge?
I think I had better subscribe to the developers email list!
I envisage something like the iSiloWeb program, with a visual way of
setting options (rather than editing the plucker.ini file by hand).
Once I had realised that Dirk meant everything to be controlled using
the start menu, how to use Plucker made a lot more sense. I would agree
that a simple set by set guide for beginners using Plucker on Windows
would be nice.
