You may also want to try "Snag-It". I pulled a demo copy off the net about 6
months ago. It seemed to work fine for my DOS apps. I've never tried it,
but there's a screen capture program by Wextech (The Doc-To-Help people).
However, I think it's bundled with their newly released "Documentation
Studio" suite.
I agree with John Wilcox; you will need to run your DOS app within a window
screen.
BTW, I'd be interested in a summary of responses. Good luck! (From my
experience, I've not found an all around good solution to capturing
screens--every option seems to have its trade-offs.)
