I find the following 2 programs very helpful to use in combination with aXis2000 on Windows.
To run in post-XP Windows operating systems, you will need to set properties to 32-bit (MWsnap)

MWsnap       (like Win10's snipping tool, or snip&sketch but better)        paint.net (GNU image processor - better than Adobe PhortoShop)
