hey all,
I just found some sample source code in my archives for doing EGA screen
captures that Jim wrote almost exactly 3 years ago.
They're written in pascal, so I need to digest it a bit and convert it to
assembly to implement into flopper, but I don't think this will be a huge
job. It'll at least happen earlier than october!
Standby...
-jeff!

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

Roger Coltrane.
