    A freeware alternative worth mentioning is "Pic-Saver". It is a 
simple 3.5K ProDOS 8 utility Antics (from France) wrote some 7 years 
ago. It allows you to name the Super-Hi-Res image to be saved, and if
I remember correctly, it supports both 16 and 256 color screen-captures.
The output file written is an uncompressed SHR image, but it is still 
quite handy for grabbing images left in memory.

    If there is interest, I can post this to comp.binaries.apple2.
I don't think I've seen it on any FTP site, in fact, I think few
people know of it since it was semi-hidden one on of Antic's releases.
