I'm trying to capture TEXT screens to graphics files that I
can use in a demonstration (via self-executing GIF files).
I found a utility VGACAP that captures VGA screens, but what
I need is a utility that will capture text mode screens
(word processing, spreadsheet) into a graphics file, either
GIF or a format I can convert easily to GIF.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Bill
