Perhaps we can persuade Mark DiVecchio, the author of the
program, to post the latest version, if there is one?  I believe
he is lurking about the net somewhere (comp.lang.c?).

I have one dated 1985, and it seems to have a few bugs like hanging
dBase after the first 512 bytes, but it works quite well for capturing
screens and printer output from most programs.

I will be glad to post if he can't be contacted.
