Um; sounds good until you consider certain possibilities:

My Devawriter Pro is, currently, available for Mac and Windows . . .

I am developing the thing in Vmware Player running Mac OS 10.6 inside a 
PC running Xubuntu 12.10.

Now, whenever I want a screenshot of anything inside the Vmware "thing" 
I use Screensnap from Linux;

anybody else could do that . . .
