- Are you ready? Here's the 13,000 lines of 'C' code needed to capture a
- PRTSCR to a file. Ready?.... Here goes....

- Just kidding. I don't have the source to do it, but there is already an
- MSDOS utility that does what you want. It's called "PRN2FILE.COM" and is
- dated 1988. It does not work in a DOS box under Windows, but works just
- fine in DOS. Rather than code your own, you could shell out and run it.
- It is a TSR, though.

- Hope this helps,
