| Gee, UTOX seems an obvious choice :-)
You can also use DECwindows Print Screen to save the entire screen
or a potion of it to PostScript or DDIF.
RAGS (a.k.a the VAX DOCUMENT graphics editor) has screen capture
capabilities as well and, I believe, was claimed to be the replacement
for UTOX.
Finally, you can use XV and do a "grab". The nice feature about XV
is that you simply click on the window you want to capture and XV
does all the work of cropping to the window edges. The difficulty
is that you have to then write it out as tiff or gif and read it into
UTOX to convert it into something you can use in VAX DOCUMENT.
(You might be able to use the PostScript output, but then you won't
have anything if you need to create Bookreader output.)

| Alice -
If you've already invested a lot of time in learning UTOX, I don't see
why you should use anything new, although I remember at the time when
RAGS V2 hit the streets I thought that the Digitize menu choice was
easier to use (by avoiding the b/w problem discussed in the rest of
this note).
Most of what you have to do with UTOX is obvious (unless you use the -
groogh - command-line interface). The main stumbling block that I can
recall is if you have a colour monitor. When you try to save your
capture (which itself works like a charm) UTOX complains about the
`level'. I've forgotten the long-hand for the way to avoid this, but
the shortcut is <ctrl/1> (with UTOX as the active window of course).
