Hi, Bob -

Remember that "kveddemo" slide viewer I ran for a while at AtlantaFest? It used
some routines Colin McKay put together to capture a screen image (with screen
type, palette info, etc.) to a disk file.  Should have the core of what you
need.

I'll check with Colin to see about getting a copy to you.

Cheers... / Ken
