Gonna correct myself here and say 'key' instead of 'button'. Sheesh...you'd think 6 hours of sleep would be enough to think straight. :) Now to pose a question: Does anyone know why Papy chose to save screenies in the targa format instead of bitmap? You'd think the latter would be a more accessible format for folks out there, and thus preferred. -Will

Yer like most Blondes...your Nintendo roots are showing....:) regarding tga...at least it's a recognizable format, you should have been around when they used a totally non-standard format. You had to have a converter just to view them. Let alone any file sharing. dave henrie

Damn skippy, I'm a old school Nintendo freak (just a brown haired one ;). The mid to late 80's were great times to be a kid with a 'Tendo, as I look back. (remember Days of Thunder for the NES? Never got to play Bill Elliot's game, tho.) I must've had two or three of those old grey machines around...and every one of them got taken apart eventually. I can still remember the Atari I assimilated, too. The "Borg" had nothing on me when I was youngin'. :-D Now, to back on topic...ahem.. I /still/ have to use a converter to view those stinkin' targa files! In my book, if Windows doesn't support a picture format out of the box, then it isn't a standard format (but I do recall Win95 semi-supporting tga in this Picture Viewer POS app). In fact, the only time I ever need to view them is when I want to mess around with Papy screenies. But, yeah, I could just imagine how pissed I would've been with a what-the-hell-is-that file format. :-) Either I'm behind the times or Papy is (or is that was?), and I'm not sure about either of 'em. :P I got on the scene around when NASCAR Racing 2 was the shiznit and all that, yo (Yao!). But from what Dale has said about the phone bills into Hawaii, I see that I was much better off waiting. I think by comparison, the hardcore druggies habits costed less than the hardcore racers of the time. ;) -Will, still sleep deprived

I'm just waiting for the day when some thief is arrested and he blames his life of crime on needing faster computer stuff for sim-racing. :) (it could happen....) dave henrie ps, a couple of good viewers are ACDC(can't remember but I think they spell it A See Dee See or something different like that) and ifran view. I'm sure there are plenty of other freeware viewers too that only cost the price of your time with a dload. have fun
