Have you ever try to capture the screen using some screen capturing
program?  I know it is not a very elegant solution but I think it will
work.  Once captured and touched-up, you could then use the utilities you
mentioned to convert them back to BGI.

I am looking for the same info.  I think Turbo C's BGI Library only
support 16 color on EGA/VGA.  If you find otherwise or there is other ways
to access 256 color (or gray-scale) on the same screen.  Please let me
know too.

Thank you.
