I find the following 2 programs very helpful to use in combination with aXis2000 on Windows.
To run in post-XP Windows operating systems, you will need to set properties to 32-bit (MWsnap)

MWsnap       (like Win10's snipping tool, or snip&sketch but better)        paint.net (GNU image processor - better than Adobe PhortoShop)


This package was developed and is maintained by Adam Hitchcock (1997..).
It contains code contributions from many people including:

Chris Jacobsen   Peter Hitchcock   Carl Zimba    Billy Loo    Eli Rotenberg     Jonathan Denlinger     Rick Kneedler   Jacob Stewart-Ornstein     Goran Johansson     Ivaylo Koprinarov   Florian Meirer     Dieter Ingerle      Ben Watts
