Capturing bitmaps

Have most released versions of 95 from the original kryspy (4.00.950)
through SR2 and have never seen alt-printscreen fail to
save the active window to the clipboard (printscreen will save whole
desktop). Have seen a few programs that do not respond properly to cntrl-V
to paste it though. Personally prefer LView (www.lview.com - plug) since is
verrrry flexible & produces nice small .JPGs but do not expect any support.
Really.
