There's a program called HiJaak from Inset Systems that allows you to capture
screens and convert them among a variety of formats, including PCX.  Once you
have a PCX file, you can load it into Windows and save it as a BMP.  I have a
very old version; perhaps one of the later versions allows conversions to BMP
directly.
