Preferably this program would use a hot-key and write out a format that could easily be imported (GIF, PCX, whatever...). I have tried using Windows 3.0 and [PrtSc], but Windows complains that it can't copy the screen to the clipboard in that VGA mode. Does this mean that the palette and/or screen data is read-only, so the task would be difficult at best, or that Windows just isn't coded to copy that VGA mode into the clipboard? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Jack Knight ARPA: jk44@andrew.cmu.edu
