[Lowfer] Software question

Ralph:

I am assuming that you are using windows.

I would look at Screenprint32 as a component. It will capture either the
whole screen, the active window or a defined area. It can be set to be very
transparent. It's free at www.download.com.

What *I* would do is download a macro program that inserts keystrokes. Let
me know if you need help locating one. Set the timer on the macro program so
the proper key sequence is pressed (to trigger Screenprint32).

File contention is tricky. Especially in windows. Mac and Linux/Unix
implementations don't suffer from this. It's the beauty of "inodes".

There are other options but I would need to know a little more, possibly
off-list.

I have a similar problem but I solved the problem by writing a little code
for a web server.
