An extract from /pc/ts/tsfaq15.arc frequently asked questions
collection (available from uwasa.fi archives as are the programs
described below).  BTW, this is at least the fourth time this month
alone that this question is asked by a different poster.  A genuine
FAQ is there ever was one.

 Q: I want to capture to a file everything that comes on the
screen. How do I do this?

 A1: There are two sets of programs that are useful here. The first
set consists of programs which automatically capture to a file
everything that comes on the screen. Examples of these "scrolling"
programs are /pc/pd2/concpy11.zip (or whatever version is the
latest) and /pc/pd2/script11.zip.
   The second set are the "static" programs which capture a snapshot
of the screen, or a portion of the screen at the invocation of a hot
key. Get /pc/pd2/snippr22.zip for such a utility. Another is
/pc/printer/lamneth.zip which redirects the results of pressing the
PrintScreen key to a file instead of the printer. A third one is
/pc/printer/scap225.zip. Please note that these programs only work
for the text mode. They won't capture graphics output. (The same
