We think you mean "screen capture utility" - that is a program which will
save the image you see on your screen as a graphics file (PCX, GIF, JPEG, etc.).

Such programs are usually shareware. The one I use is also expensive for
shareware, but it takes "desktop movies" as well as "desktop photographs".
I use this when I want to see the progression of the computer's thoughts
from overnight analysis, and the program does not log the PVs for each ply.
Here's the information:

Sometimes, you'd like to see what HIARCS "thought" about a position
at various search depths. The HIARCS screen display only
shows the PV for the current search depth, but the PV history can be
recorded as an animated GIF using the screen recorder utility
"Gif-gIf-giF", which is available for Windows 3.1, Windows 95,
Windows NT, and Macintosh.

Even the freely downloadable Gif-gIf-giF demo will do this.
The demo is available at

<http://www.peda.com/>

The resulting animated GIF can be viewed by many utilities and
Web browsers, including the downloadable demo of "A Smaller GIF",
available at the same Web site as Gif-gIf-giF.
