[GRASS-dev] saving images from display

Wed Aug 22 15:02:14 PDT 2012

I can confirm that it works in WinGRASS6.4.3, 
unfortunately, many students already installed GRASS6.4.2 official stable release
so they have to reinstall from daily snapshot.

This just makes it even more urgent to get GRASS6.4.3 out and remove the broken 6.4.2
and it may be useful to mention the 6.4.2 problem on winGRASS page - it makes
it pretty much unusable.

Thanks for the feedback, Helena
