I need a Way to capture a screen dump on an IBM XT (CGA graphics) to a file,
and then print the file to an Apple Laserwriter (that is on an Apple LocalTalk
network that has an IBM AT connected to it). I can use the shareware
program FSPOOL to capture it in a file, but then can not print it to the
laserwriter. Is there any way to either convert the file FSPOOL produces
to postscript format, or is there software out there that will do a
screen dump to a file in postscript.
thanks

It will capture the CGA / EGA / VGA screen in PostScript and send it to a printer or save it in a file. It is a TSR program that takes up about 9 K of memory and can be removed from memory. It also supports many SuperVGA modes (800x600x256) etc. The program can also convert color to greyscale (useful for images), scale the picture, do portrait or landscape, do xon/xoff on the serial port. It also supports text, including the IBM character graphics. The price is $29.95 + 6.75% tax for IL residents and is available from: Offe Enterprises 1163 E.
