#SCREEN CAPTURE

I screwed up the thread on this one–long story, short message. The
shareware CAPTURE-.ZIP works perfectly in certain ways, so I have to use
this as a reference. If the TSR is loaded, you hit the Alt-C keys, &
whatever is on the screen at the time is saved to a file: SCREEN.nnn. This
action is perfect. The problem is when you go to bring the text into
another text, print it out, whatever, you have to contend with these nasty
little "bars" between every single space & character. It's icky!
The redirects you mentioned have their utility, but only if you're in DOS
at the time, not another application. And yes, this is all ASCII text. Cut
& paste I can do if I can just get the file the screen characters are save
to to be normal–you know, "bar-less".
Appreciatively,
Jeff
Jeff,
Try the capture program that comes with Microsoft Word ™. It has worked
fine for me in the past.

I am just moving house – so still do not have acces to my full library.
There are better screen capture tools out there. Do you know PC Mag's book
on DOS with two diskettes of utilities? It has a screen capture utility
that might be better. PC Tools also does screen capture – and should be
part of all users software libraries.
