                     12: allows X users to store window images in a specially formated
                     13: window dump file.  This file can then  be  read  by  various  other  X
                     14: utilities for redisplay, printing, editing, formatting, archiving,
                     15: image processing etc..  The target window is selected by clicking the 
                     16: mouse   in   the  desired  window.   The keyboard bell is rung once
                     17: at the beginning of the dump and twice when the dump is completed.
                     18: This is a preliminary version of what promises to be a very useful utility.

                     20: upward compatibility is made.

                     30: pixels that compose the X window border.  This is useful in situations
                     31: where you may wish to include the  window  contents in a document 
                     32: as an illustration.

                     42: format.    The   default  is  `XY'  pixmap format.  `Z' format is only
