Tried it, liked it. Most people won't need all 
the options in a screen capture program but the 
scrolling features would be good for long 
drawings that don't fit on the screen at once.
It's now among the umpteenth programs that I 
hardly ever use, but are nice to have when I
need them. When I send ascii to a friend, it's 
usually as a jpeg (2 bit gifs from now on, they 
ARE smaller, I learn something new every day). 
Strangely, the average person would rather have 
a picture of ascii art rather than plain ascii.
Pics are now more universal than text.

Lossless jpg cropping is news to me too.
I wonder why every program doesn't do it that way.

I give a thumbs up to acdsee. I like  when you 
drag a bunch of pics into a folder and some 
have the same name it shows thumbnails so you 
can decide to delete one or auto-rename.
Irfanview doesn't seem to do drag and drop.

Speaking  of pic browsers, does anyone know of 
a program that browses text files? That is, it
quickly flips from one to another in the same 
window without having to open-close, open-close,
open-close, each one. Thanx
