Just download the linux tarball: http://freeware4u.com/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=235 Move it into some work directory and untar: tar xvzf wink15.tar.gz Then, untar the data tarball: tar xvzf installdata.tar.gz Run Wink from the current directory: ./wink I do not suggest running any of the install scripts since they would probably fail and/or dump/overwrite files that you may have already. Just run ./wink from that local directory. I briefly tested for creating screenshots and then created a movie file. I couldn't play the Flash file since I don't have any of the plugins installed. I did not check to see what dependencies it really needed but I do have linux_base, gtk2 and possibly many others already installed that it might need to work. However, I was disappointed in the output format options. It seems to be limited to Flash, PDF and other proprietary formats which aren't very useful (for me). YMMV I would like to suggest that you look at sysutils/xvidcap as an alternative. It also includes a gtk2 version (gvidcap) and if I remember correctly, can produce mpeg format videos which are open source and playable on most any platform. I've not used this in a long time but perhaps it will suit your needs. HTH, Randy --
