I would like to know whether there are any downloadable screen capture
utilities that can capture DOS screens. It seems that the utilities with
which I am familiar (SnagIt, PSP, CorelCAPTURE, IView, Alt-PrintScrn) can
capture Windows screens, but not DOS screens. I want to do screen captures
of a DOS-based application that I am documenting, and I cannot do it on
these Windows-based utilities.
One thing that I have wondered: What is the equivalent of the Alt-PrintScrn
keystroke for capturing Mac screens?
