And you thought you were joking... someone posted the following on the
techshoret list... any ideas for me to pass on to them?

I have been handed a diskette with a utility on it
and I need to take screengrabs -- the only problem
is that it only works properly when I restart the
computer with the diskette in the floppy drive so
that it goes straight into DOS-- so my problem is
to find a utility (if one exists) to take and
store screengrabs which I will then later transfer
into windows etc.

The other alternative is to photograph the screens
with a digital camera -- results not good.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
