+snapscreenshot (screenshot program for text consoles)
+
+snapscreenshot creates a .tga (Targa) image file from the text contents
+of the Linux framebuffer consoles (by default, all of the consoles,
+tiled in a single image).
+
+This probably doesn't work for non-framebuffer consoles (not tested).
+
+By default, snapscreenshot is installed setuid root and executable by
+users in the 'video' group. Normally on Slackware, users logged in at
+the console are in the 'video' group by default. If you don't like this,
+export SETUID=no in the script's environment. This will require root
+access (e.g. su or sudo) for snapscreenshot to work.
+
+See NOTES.txt for more information.
