Subject: Capturing text to file from screen

1. *****
 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/printer/concpy11.zip (or whatever version is the
latest) and /pc/printer/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/screen/snippr26.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/scap250.zip. Also worth considering is
/pc/screen/vprint51.zip. Please note that these programs only work
for the text mode. They won't capture graphics output. (The same
also goes for the next Q&As).

     ! To get these and other programs given as !
     !   /dir/subdir/name                       !
     ! see the instructions in PD2ANS.TXT       !

 A2: How to find MS-DOS files on garbo.uwasa.fi: If you are looking
for a particular program at garbo.uwasa.fi you should start by
getting the following files:
   /pc/INDEX.ZIP
   /pc/INDEXTS.ZIP
For seeing what is new in the /pc/ts directory, get
   /pc/ts/0news-ts
For seeing selected news and reviews of files in all MS-DOS (the
/pc) directories, get the following file full of information
   /pc/pd2/news-pd2
For a monthly raw list of all the new MS-DOS files, get
   /pc/_files.in
