grabasc.exe by Bill Buckels January 25, 1992
A terminate and stay resident program that allows text screens to
be captured without color attributes and saved to a disk file.
For use in 80-column text mode 3 or 7.
Once grabasc has been loaded, each time the SHIFT-PRINT SCREEN
key combination is pressed the text from the current screen will
be added to a diskfile called HANDFULL.TXT.
This is similar to the way a screen capture works with some modem
communications packages except that grabasc.exe has the brains to
trim whitespace from the end of each line of screen-text.
Grabbing ascii text from program screens is an extremely useful
programming or documentation technique, since much typing can be
avoided by inhaling the captured screens into a text editor or
word processor.
Recycled text-screen captures have many other uses.
I have included the Mix Power C Source code out of interest to
other software engineers and C language enthusiasts but the file
grabasc.c is not needed to run grabasc.exe.
