    As I stated, I have never used either, but I don't see why it
wouldn't.  Below is a portion of the DOC file:

====================================================================
SNIPPER          Version 2.6  921020  (See revisions below)

Command

Tom Kihlken      1987/No. 18 (Utilities)


Purpose:     Copies any portion of a text screen to a printer or
             file, or inserts it as keyboard input into an
             applications program.

Format:      [d:][path]SNIPPER [rows,columns]

Remarks:     SNIPPER is a memory resident program that is normally
loaded as part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  The rows,columns
parameter is required for EGA displays with more than the normal 25
rows and 80 columns. The default "hot key" is Alt-W; Esc returns
you to your application.

         When SNIPPER is popped up, it creates its own cursor,
which is moved by the normal arrow keys.  To create the window of
interest, press Enter to anchor the upper-left corner.  The cursor
keys then open and size the window, which appears in reverse video.
It is not necessary to press Enter again to anchor the lower right
corner.  Doing so, indeed, will pop up a help menu showing the
options described below.

         When the desired area is shown, pressing P dumps its
contents to your printer, adding carriage return/line feed
characters at the end of each line. SNIPPER then automatically
terminates.  Pressing F with the window open prompts for a
filename, which may include drive and path.  If no filename is
entered, SCREEN.CUT is used as a default.  Pressing Enter writes
the marked screen contents to the file.  SNIPPER then terminates,
but remembers the filename.  Successive saves to the same filename
are appended to and do not overwrite that file.

           Pressing S while a portion of the screen is marked saves
the window contents to an internal buffer.  Another applications
program can then be called up, and its cursor positioned at the
point where the saved window contents should be inserted.  Alt-W
then activates SNIPPER, and G gets its stored contents and dumps
them into the keyboard buffer as if they had been typed in by hand.
Note that G must be the first SNIPPER command used in this case
(any other erases its internal, stored buffer).  Note, too, that G
can be used without S to reenter marked material (e.g. a complex
DOS command sequence) on the same screen page.


Note:
 The default hot key can be changed using DEBUG by substituting the
Scan code and Shift mask values listed in the article.  The address
of the Scan code byte is :0176, and that of the Shift mask is
:0186.   Note that these patch areas are DIFFERENT than the ones
published in the original magazine article.
=====================================================================

    Good luck, 
      Charles

... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
