Hi Brian; Pixelpop was one of those features in AniPro which was really needed but not very well addressed (IMHO). Never one to wait for someone else's development, I went looking for alternatives. A very reliable one I'd recommend is PCXDUMP (PCXDMP), found in the GRAPPHSUPP and GAMERS forums. If you've got a VESA driver loaded, up to 1MB (1024×768) captures are no problem. Worth registering. Animator Studio works in Windows which already has screen capture (PrintScreen) so I don't know how long it will be before the Animator Pro provides a more versatile DOS utility. -dave

Hi Dave, You're correct about Pixelpop. Not much emphasis was placed on that utility, but from personal use and testing of it, I found that it had much to be desired. For instance, if you were using a VESA compliant driver, screen captures were apt to be garbled. It works best in programs that use the standard VGA driver. I'll have to try out PCXDUMP, myself. Thanks for the info. Bob
