I pulled a very nice program off the USENET today callled 'xgrabsc'
(x grab screen). It prints better quality X fotos than the print
screen facility that comes with UWS....plus the session manager never
gets in the way during use.
I have tested already with ULTRIX RISC and looks very impressive for
a piece of freeware!

Here is a brief description from the author:
Kris....
-----------------------
There are a number of programs available for getting X-Windows
screen dumps (e.g., xwd, xwps and DEC's session manager), but they
all either write their output in an unusable format, or are restricted
to dumps of single shell windows. I wrote xgrabsc in an effort to get
around these restrictions.
The main contribution of this program is its use of root-window
rubberbanding to allow capture of arbitrary portions of the screen,
and its multiple output formats (x-bitmap, x-pixmap, xwd, Postscript
and puzzle formats).
The Postscript dumps will use run-length encoding if it results in
any savings in size. A typical xterm window dump on a mono system
runs around 40K bytes. An xwd dump on the same screen will be around
650K bytes
