You can save an IFF picture.  You can grab the screen with ScreenX or Grabbit.
I prefer ScreenX.  You just pick the screen you want to save and hit the
save screen button.  If the image from VirtGIF is a superbitmap you can just
scroll around the screen and save until you have the whole image.  Then put
all the pieces together with a paint program.  Hope this helps....
