Help and/or history for pro_scrsave

See also entry in DESCRIPTION file

Usage: pro_scrsave [options] [file]
 
	pro_scrsave creates an image of the current Pro/E window.
	By default it uses the scrsave utility, but with the -d option
	it used the xwd to create a X window screen dump.
	
 
	options:	-h =>	this help screen 
			-b =>	Include the window border
			-d =>	Make screen dump instead of scrsave
			-n =>	figure out current model name 
					uses: objname_from_inf
			-2 =>	R20+ version
	
	if no file is given a file proe_screen_image.rgb.n is created
	where n will be the highest number in the current directory

	NOTE1:	If you are calling this script to create a series of images
		which will be compiled into a movie you could consider
		reducing the size of the Pro/E window. This can be done
		manually, but if you call this script through a trail
		file automatically you can make your screen small by
		putting a model into the main Pro/E screen and opening
		the model you are animating in a second Pro/E screen.
		Don't forget to turn off your datums, tolerance
		display and spin center in your environment.
	NOTE2:	This is a screen capture tool, so overlapping windows
		will also be captured.
