Answer» I would like suggestions on how to get screenshots of DOS and its PROGRAMS (not just dumping the output into a text file).
I want to take the screenshots while not in WINDOWS at all. Some programs will not execute under DOS if it is run within windows ( at least XP) and I want to get screenshots while the program is running.Do you mean text mode or VGA/SVGA mode bitmapped screens?
"Real" MS-DOS uses a SCREEN made up of characters, not pixels, so you can't get a screenshot of a DOS screen as an image file. A DOS screen is made up of text characters. There were various TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs which would, when a hotkey combination was pressed, CAPTURE the characters on the screen to -- guess what? -- a text file. Trouble is, some TSRs will prevent DOS apps running.
