Try this program. Wincap: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... WINCAP.EXE

I haven't tested it, but chances are good it will work for you. Unfortunately it seems this one uses .DIB files, but I think most art programs will be able to handle it.

Hi Rog,

if you have the possibility to boot in a real dos mode (DOS 6.x, Win95/98, maybe you have a 2nd computer or 2nd partiton to try this out), you should use the prog "PCXDUMP". This prog is very old, but also very powerful if you want to take screenshots in REAL dos modes. I hope you find a download link using google.
