If I want to grab a graphics screen I can use GRAB from WP 5.1. But I need an
utility that lets me grab an image of a textscreen. For instance, I am using
Borland Turbo Vision to create windows, menus etc. These screens have borders,
shadows, colors, the works. But a PrintScreen will not show that detail, anbd
besides, PrintScreen will only take the characters, *not* the attributes. And
Printscreen will only print, not save in a file. WP GRAB will only grab
graphics screens.

So, what can I use? How do I solve this?

The result should be TIFF, EPS or WPG file. But others are welcome too since
there are several conversion programs available.

Thanks,
