I find using GCP is much easier. GCP will save the entire clipboard into PCX (or
other) format, and then bring the file into Paintbrush. Yesterday, I even saved
an 800x600 screen this way.

The GCP version I have is for Windows 2, but I've marked it for Win3, and it
seems to work fine. I wrote to the author about an upgrade, but haven't heard
anything. ANyone else know what's happened to it?
