Well, I heard about utilities that are capable of - after a reset - finding
the picture in memory and saving it to disk. I would be fully satisfied if
I could reset the computer when the picture I want is on the screen, and
then still be able to find it somewhere in memory, and save it as IFF, so
I could print it out. Does anybody know any of these utilities?
