Summary: Try Pizzaz, a commercail screen dump product


Pizzaz is a commercial screen dump program with extensive
capabilities and extensive hardware support.  Approximately 134
different output devices are supported.  Most popular screens are
supported as well:  CGA, EGA (various types), Herc., AT&T 6300,
Video-7, etc.

Pizzaz also lets you box-in the area to be printed with the
cursors, thus allowing you to scale up the size on an interesting
region and cut out unimportant noise.  Color  --> pattern or color
remapping is possible.  Images can also be stuck in a file for
printing later if you are in a hurry.  A full color picutre 4 * 6
inches takes about 20 min. on an Okidata 292.  Monochrome images
are quite quick.  The HP laserjet output looks quite nice
(actually, I tried the HP output on an Okidata Laserline-6).
Pizzaz's neatest feature is anti-aliasing to remove jaggies, if you
desire.

I think it goes for around 50 bucks, but look for discounts.
Pizzaz is a very well behaved TSR program, and seldom (if ever)
interferres with other software.  It is a bit hoggish on memory,
requiring about the same ammount as sidekick.  Some of my bigger
programs won't run with Pizzaz (stupid 640K limit!).

I don't work for these guys, and am reporting this as an end user
that is satisfied with the performance of the product.  There are
others, but Pizzaz is much more bugfree.
