I am wanting to incorporate 'screen captures' into
user documentation.  I need a program that takes a
PC TEXT screen exactly as it is and captures it in a
useful format, INCLUDING highlighted regions, underlines etc.

The 'useful format' should be something like Tiff that I can
read into Pagemaker or some such.

In the UK we have a site giving access to certain shareware
products and I have tried 

(a) GEMCAP to capture the screens as a .IMG file and
(b) GRAPHICS WORKSHOP to convert that into TIF or EPS.

These work SOME of the time!  Others I get corrupt discs
and I'm not sure as yet which of these progs is causing it
or even if it's a hardware fault.

If anyone that knows of a capture prog that saves directly
to TIF, GIF or EPS then I'd like to know and where I can
get trial copies from.

Thanks,
Lee Davis
