How does one make screenshots of plan9 (using the in-house utilities and
not writing a program of his/her own)?
I want to brag before my friends :)

One variation is
#!/bin/rc
wid=`{cat /dev/winid}
echo snarf this:
echo ' cat /dev/wsys/'$wid'/window >x.pic; togif x.pic >x.gif'
echo Then make picture;
echo then send snarfed string to a non-overlapping window.
if you want to snapshot just a particular window instead of the whole
screen. Parameterize or use a pipe to avoid named files at leisure.
