[comp.windows.ms] Screen image to BMP

dubs_cif@troi.cc.rochester.edu (/* Jeremy DuBois */) (11/14/90)

  I need to get a 1024x786x256 screen image into BMP format so that
I can play with the image using Windows 3.0 stuff.  I cannot use the
window screen capture utility (i.e. press the Print Screen Key) because
the image is too big.
  Anybody know of any utilities that would let me capture the screen
into a BMP file, or convert the raw data file to one?

There's a program called HiJaak from Inset Systems that allows you to capture
screens and convert them among a variety of formats, including PCX.  Once you
have a PCX file, you can load it into Windows and save it as a BMP.  I have a
very old version; perhaps one of the later versions allows conversions to BMP
directly.
