Screen capture in OpenGL fullscreen?

Anybody know how to get a screen capture in OpenGL fullscreen? If I am running Win98, can I still use the PrintScreen key to copy the screen to the clipboard, or will that not work once I start up OGL? Thanks for the help. gameguru4@yahoo.com

Yes you can. Fullscreen ogl is nothing more than ogl in a window as large as the screen.

A better way is to use glReadPixels() to obtain the buffer, and write that to disk.
