I helped a friend solve this problem using Mark DiVecchio's LPTX program and
Charles Petzold's KEY-FAKE program.  It was actually pretty simple, though
*NOT* perfect.  If program's such as Photo existed for DOS, I'm sure many
people would be interested.  Meanwhile, the following may work for you:

   1.  Create the files CONLOG.BAT and ENDLOG.BAT as follows:
       <File CONLOG.BAT:>
          lptx -1 -o conlog.log
          keyfake @114

       <File ENDLOG.BAT:>
          keyfake @114
          lptx -1 -c
   2.  To begin console logging, just type CONLOG, and to end it type
       EDNLOG.
   3.  Of course, you need LPTX (which has been in C.B.I.P), KEY-FAKE
       (which is one of the PCMagazine Utilities) and all four files have
       to be somewhere in your path.

Hope this helps!
