SAVSCR:
Saves the EGA screen.
SAVSCR is a resident program which stores an EGA screen on disk.
To use, run SAVSCR. When you have an EGA screen ready to save,
press the SYSREQ key & the screen will be saved to EGASCR.$, where
$ is a letter from A to Z (incremented sequentially). You may then
rename the file, and display it via PUTSCR.
Note:
Due to the architecture of the EGA, you can't save screens
on the fly, as it were. If you try to save a screen while
you're still plotting stuff, the display will be messed
up unless your plotting routines reset the write mode
each time they plot a point. I don't think that this is
a major problem, but you should be aware of it.
SAVSCR stores the 17 palette bytes (16 colors+overscan), then stores
each color plane. Hence, by playing with the first 16 bytes, you
can change the colors of your stored screen.
PUTSCR:
Restores an EGA screen saved with SAVSCR.
PUTSCR is a utility to restore the EGA screen from a file created
with SAVSCR. The format is
PUTSCR file1 file2 ... fileN
In addition, standard wildcard characters are supported, so the
command PUTSCR egascr.* makes sense.
The files are displayed sequentially; pressing any key moves you
to the next picture.
