   To the best of my knowledge, our campus license for Snapz Pro, a
screen capture utility, is only for the Classic version of this
utility. We once looked into pricing for a license OS X version, but
at least from what I can glean from my old correspondence on this
topic, neither IST-WSSG nor the BFS folks decided it would be
cost-effective to license it at the then-offered price.

   What specific screen capture functionality does your BFS user
require, beyond the capabilities of the built-in Grab service in Mac
OS X? In addition to the very full-featured Snapz Pro X (shareware,
$29, or $49 with QuickTime movie capturing capability), there are a
number of other freeware and lower-cost shareware screen capture
utilities for Mac OS X listed on the Version Tracker and MacUpdate
websites. Perhaps one of these might meet their needs ...

P.S. Another possibility is to check if the vendor will offer the $19
single-copy upgrade price from Snapz Pro 2 -- based on our campus
license -- to Snapz Pro X.
