  • Subject: Re: Clipboard copy for including Client Access 5250 screens indocumentation

You might want to try Paint Shop Pro.  That is what I use for most of my 
graphical
editing at home, and it has a number of features that might help you.  I know 
it has
reverse image, cropping, color and palette manipulation, etc...

It is put out by a company called JASC http://www.jasc.com/psp.html and you can
download a free 30 day evaluation copy.  I know this is not exactly what you 
want,
as you would have to capture the image, then load it into paint shop pro and 
modify
it, but it should do what you want.

Regards,

Jim Langston
