Subj: VEE Screen Dumps
From: Peter Fender <pmfa@eci-esyst.com>

In Windows 3.1 the PrintScreen key will copy the screen image
to the windows clipboard. Alt-PrtSc will copy the current _window_.
I think there is a Windows95 equivalent keystroke, too.
Then you can paste the clipboard into Paintbrush or any other
graphics program to save or edit the image.
The above is a manual process. I don't know how you could do
it within a VEE program.

Hello HP-Vee-ers,
Is there a good way to do screen dumps other than to do "print screen"?
I am currently using print screen and Window's Poscript printer driver. My
output is thus a postscript file. This is fine for printing, but I have
dificulty using this file in graphic editors. Also, the colors in the
postscript output are not as bright compared to the image on the monitor. Is
there a way to get a PCX/GIF/BMP/etc output directly? Thanks in advance.
Marco.

Under Win3, getting it into clipboard was a pain ... you had to zoom out,
paste twice, then zoom in (and colormapping could be a very strange problem
under some circumstances).
Works very nicely in Win95, though -- the updated Paint program has some nice
features and got rid of some of the glitchy bugs in the old one.

I would think there might be some command-line tricks for a Windows program
that VEE could call through EXECUTE PROGRAM, but I don't otherwise have a
clue.
