- SAVSCR:
- Saves the EGA screen.
-
- SAVSCR is a resident program which stores an EGA screen on disk.
- To use, run SAVSCR. When you have an EGA screen ready to save,
- press the SYSREQ key & the screen will be saved to EGASCR.$, where
- $ is a letter from A to Z (incremented sequentially). You may then
- rename the file, and display it via PUTSCR.
-
- Note:
- Due to the architecture of the EGA, you can't save screens
- on the fly, as it were. If you try to save a screen while
- you're still plotting stuff, the display will be messed
- up unless your plotting routines reset the write mode
- each time they plot a point. I don't think that this is
- a major problem, but you should be aware of it.
-
- SAVSCR stores the 17 palette bytes (16 colors+overscan), then stores
- each color plane. Hence, by playing with the first 16 bytes, you
- can change the colors of your stored screen.
-
- PUTSCR:
- Restores an EGA screen saved with SAVSCR.
-
- PUTSCR is a utility to restore the EGA screen from a file created
- with SAVSCR. The format is
- PUTSCR file1 file2 ... fileN
- In addition, standard wildcard characters are supported, so the
- command PUTSCR egascr.* makes sense.
- The files are displayed sequentially; pressing any key moves you
- to the next picture.
