There is a program called EGA2GIF which takes a picture of what is displayed
on the screen then creates a GIF file of the contents.  I haven't used it
with PC Paint, but have with Freelance Plus and Harvard Business Graphics
and it works fairly well.  I think the program is available from SIMTEL20.
