- In directory pd1:<msdos.screen> we now have:
-
- SNIPPR22.ZIP TSR to save part of screen to disk/print/keybd
- SNIPPR23.ZIP TSR to save part of screen to disk/print/keybd
-
- These are both based on the PC Magazine original and are complete with
- MASM source. The trouble is that version 2.3 doesn't have all the
- improvements and fix for one serious nested INT call that were
- introduced in version 2.2.
-
- Anyone of you MASM gurus out there care to take on the task of merging
- them?
-
- I will forward replies so we don't have duplicate efforts.
-
- This is a great program. One thing I'd like to see fixed, however, is
- the removal of trailing spaces when saving the screen.

- Jude, I agree and take it one step further. Because of the direct
- screen writes snipper won't work with DESQview. I'd like to see that
- fixed.
-
- Timo pointed out that some text editors like QEdit can be configured
- to remove trailing spaces. True. I use QEdit. But it's annoying to
- have to remember that the file must be edited even if it contains
- exactly what you want in the way of text, just to get rid of the
- trailing spaces. Snipper shouldnt be saving them.

- Toad Hall Solution: snipper v2.4.
-
- One thing, though: snipper hasn't had direct screen writes for a
- long time, if at all! Nothing from v2.2 on up! Only BIOS calls
- are used.
-
- Disclaimer: I have no way of testing snipper with anything but
- monochrome (e.g., no CGA, egc.).
