I haven’t used X on QNX, but the traditional window snap shot program for X is “xwd” (X Window Dump). xwud will display a file in .xwd format. To convert to .BMP, check out the PNM utilities or “xv”. Scotty should be able to fill in the details for you.

Hm… QNX Windows has some screen capture utilities – but they capture
as an internal format. The pictps utility will render this to postscript.
Once you have it in postscript, there are non-QNX tools that can deal
with postscript, including generating a bmp.
I don’t think there is anything native to QWindows that will read a
…bmp file – you’d have to write your own viewer there. I think the
…bmp format is pretty simple – you’d have to read it and draw what
you read with DrawImage() calls.
Hm… the latest QWindows might read .bmp files natively, not sure – some
support was added for some image formats.

We used to capture the files, then use the pictps utility for generic
stuff. This means you
have to have a post script printer (or ghostscripting…).
We tried a product called FREEZEIT, from klondike software last known
address 15 Emery Court,
Nepean, Ontario, Canada K2H 7W2). Also, last know phone number is:
613-726-6565.
Not sure if they are still in business. I don’t seem to have the
software either, just the manual (fat lot of good, eh!).
