Subject:Screen Capture in DOS From:sherron -at- HERRON -dot- CTEXT -dot- COM Date:Fri, 26 Jan 1996 13:58:54 EST
Salve populi,
I need a way to capture a graphical display from the video screen running in
DOS, and save it as a manipulable file such as *.bmp, *.pcx, or even *.eps.
My usual work environment is OS/2, but the application in question will only
run in a DOS full screen session.
I'd appreciate any information leading to the arrest and conviction of:
1) A screen capture program that runs in DOS.
b) A way to make PRINT SCREEN print to a file.
Extra points for creativity awarded for not ending your reply with
"Hope this helps."
Thanks,
SH
