I need to grab the entire screen from a Sun Ultra (Creator Graphics) 
every 10 secs, and save it as a .tiff.  Eventually I'll package them up 
and make a mpg or a motion gif out of it for playback.

I really want to do this with Java, although I'm sure there's probably 
some existing tools to get me part way there.  I'm using Borland JB4 on 
Solaris 6.

AWT appears to have a built in library for obtaining screen metrics like 
size, location (1 of 4 CDE windows) resolution etc.  But what's the best 
way to tackle this?  Then write it out as a .tiff?  Leave Swing out of 
it? I know this is broad, but can some of you gurus point me in the 
right direction?  

thanks so much in advance

Little Johnny
