For documentation purposes I am in need of a resident program to dump standard VGA-screens (640x480x16) to a file in a format supported by WP 5.0 or Pagemaker. The problem is, that the program distributed with WordPerfect 5.0 uses a hot-key which is not passed by the application which produces the graphics - namely SmallTalk V/286. We use ATI VGA Wonder cards with 256KB RAM. If such a program is in the public domain please give a pointer. Thanks very much - Thomas ------- Thomas Muhr, Technical University of Berlin, BITNET: muhrth@db0tui11 Project ATLAS - Computer Based Tools for Qualitative Research "Computers, like every technology, are a vehicle for the transformation of tradition."

It comes with a utility that is able to overcome the hot-key problem for many of the applications that suppress the shift-printscreen hotkey. Don't know if it will work with your application.
