GPL screenshots... How?

How in the world do you take a screenshot in GPL?  I've made a new paint
scheme, but I can't figure out how to take a picture of it... lol

Hit PrtScrn for as many screenshots as you wish.

When complete you will see a load of *.pbf files

Use pbf2tga.exe in the gpl folder to create tga files you can edit in most
graphics editors.

syntax:   pbf2tga filename

Seems a bit laborious but it is great that you can create multiple
screenshots in one replay session and then do something with them later.

  two quick points..your method only works if he has a 3dfx
video card.  2nd,  there is a utility at theuspits.com
that will convert a whole slew of thos pbf files to tga in
one motion.
  To get non-3dfx screen shots...I believe you have to have
a screen grabber like hypersnapdx running and use it.
