Re: [foxboro] Help on converting DM displays to jpg or gif format

There is a program called 'XV' by John Bradley , a very useful utility for
SUN Solaris
to convert DM displays to various graphic formats. Try the following link :
ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv/

You could also capture the screens from an Exceed window.

GOPAN.G.NAIR
