An old X11 routine -xgrabsc-

[Reg Clemens]

In the 'old' X11, there used to be a program xgrabsc, which would 'grab'
a portion of the screen.  That is:

    You started the program and got some sort of little icon.
    You moved the icon to the upper left of the portion of the screen
        you wanted to capture.
    You clicked the mouse.
    The icon probably changed and now you strech the box, with this 
        first point at the upper Left, to a lower right.
    You clicked again.

At this point you had some sort of graphics file that displayed the 
portion of the screen that you had captured, which you could (say)
send to the printer, or include in a mail message.

That routine is long gone, I have to assume that something has replaced
it, but I have no idea what it would be.  Any ideas?
