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