Snapper 1.17 released… twice

Genetic mutation aborted and replaced with a newer, better, but otherwise identical version Chris Johnson has released a new version, 1.17, of Snapper, a screen capture program, originally written by David Pilling and supplied with his scanning and image processing software, and now maintained and further developed by Chris.
