Bitdump is a comprehensive solution for screen saving but it has its weaknesses and here you'll find the latest developments about them.

- If you try to use the Hot Keys on an OS/2 text window it won't work. This is because OS/2 does not map the keys the same way under PM and in OS/2 text windows so that the Hot Keys defined in the PM session won't be recognized in a text window. To bypass this limitation you must use Bitdump directly with the command window, select the action you want to execute and start it manually with the "Shoot" button.

- Similarly, Bitdump doesn't work with Full Screen windows and you must be under PM to be able to use it.

- If you print a previewed bitmap from the preview window, on return the bitmap has been destroyed. I added a temporary bypass which closes the preview window after printing its content and will work on this issue.

If you need some further informations on Bitdump for OS/2 or want to receive new versions (if any) please send me a email at the address given in the about window.
