This file documents the DEMOSCRS.EXE program.
The DEMOSCRS.EXE program is a TSR (Terminate Stay Ready) program which allows
you to capture the contents of your current text screen (80 columns by 25 lines)
and saves it as a file. The file includes all color information for the screen.
The file that contains these characters can then be processed by the program
DEMOSCRX.EXE (see DEMOSCRX.DOC file) to create either input screens for The DEMO
System, ANSI.SYS-compatible screens, or regular text screens.
The program was written using Spectra Publishing's PowerBASIC 3.0 compiler which
makes TSR-writing very easy.
The TSR takes about 5K of RAM to load and should be loaded *before* you load
the program you want to make screen captures of.
When you invoke the program, you have to pass in a file name that you want the
screens to be saved as. The file name can include drive and path information if
desired.
Once the TSR is loaded, you can save the current screen by using the hotkey
combination Alt-RightShift. This has only been tested on the 101-key enhanced
keyboard. Let me know if it doesn't work elsewhere.
Multiple screens can be saved in the same file without problem. Each screen
adds 4,003 bytes to each file.
There is no ability provided for removing the DEMOSCRS.EXE TSR once it's loaded.
It's recommended that you use TurboPower Software's MARK and RELEASE commands if
you need to remove it.
