<P>No problem Jim!! You are the man! I think that I can survive without this until October.</P>
<P>Thanks to everyone for the replies and keep with the good work!</P>
<P>Regards,</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Sorry I'm so late into this, things have been rather busy with www.demodvd.org
<DIV></DIV>>(we're trying to ship in October and it's slow going).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>EGA screen capture is easily implemented, but to someone who's never worked
<DIV></DIV>>with bitplanes it can be a bit daunting. If I weren't bogged down with
<DIV></DIV>>MindCandy, I'd be more than happy to write a small test program that would
<DIV></DIV>>draw a simple EGA screen, save it to disk, and restore it back, and the source
<DIV></DIV>>code would be Jeff-readable. But I won't lie; I just don't have time right
<DIV></DIV>>now. I will after October, so maybe it can wait until then?
