- Have you ever try to capture the screen using some screen capturing
- program? I know it is not a very elegant solution but I think it will
- work. Once captured and touched-up, you could then use the utilities you

- I am looking for the same info. I think Turbo C's BGI Library only
- support 16 color on EGA/VGA. If you find otherwise or there is other ways
- to access 256 color (or gray-scale) on the same screen. Please let me
- know too.
