How do ya make a screenshot of a replay fram in gpl? Do you then have to use the pbf2tga utility, and if so, how is that accomplished? Thanks in advance... Warlock!

From the Readme.txt file in your GPL folder: CAPTURING SCREENSHOTS There are two methods of taking screenshots during the game. First you can press ALT-PrintScreen to capture the current screen in the clipboard, allowing you to exit GPL and paste it into the paint program of your choice. Secondly, and useful if you want to take a number of different shots at once, pressing just the PrintScreen button saves sequentially numbered PBF files (gplss##.pbf) to your GPL directory. After exiting GPL you can then use the included pbf2tga.exe program to convert them to a usable TGA format. don [|]-(_)-[|] >How do ya make a screenshot of a replay fram in gpl?

If you then set Windows to handle .pbf files with pbf2tga.exe as it's default, you then merely have to double-click on the pbf file to get it converted into tga. DD
