[comp.os.os2.misc] Looking for screen capture software

rfish@killer.verity.com (Rob Fish x7627) (12/13/90)

 Hi there,

 I need to capture screen shots in an os2 
 environment...  The resulting files will then
 need to be converted to sun raster format
 (to be then imported into framemaker).

 Any suggestions?

 I will also need to do the same process on
 MS Windows and DOS...

 Many thanks and happy holidays!

 :)

For DOS, you can capture the screen using FRIEZE that comes with
PC Paintbrush to capture to PCX, GRAB that comes with WOrdPerfect to
capture to .WPG, or Screen-to-Postscript to capture to Encapsulated
Postscript (this is available by itself).  Don't know what framemaker likes..

If you are capturing DOS TEXT screens with color foreground and background,
you can also convert the colors to different background grays and foreground
thicknesses when printed using a post-processor for Screen-to-Postscript
(the two are sold separately or as a package).  This is useful for
software documentation etc.  You can contact SCRtoPS people at 708-357-6679.
PC Paintbrush, WordPerfect etc. are off the shelf packages.
