Your best bet is to get a screen capture utility like CAMERA from Deluxe Paint
II or pcxGrab (neither of these are shareware, but you should be able to find
one that is).  You'll then nned to load the pictures onto the screen with the
BASICA interpreter and capture them with the screen-capture TSR.  The capture
utility should save the files into a relatively well-known format (.PCX or
.GIF would be best).  If the paint program can load the type of file that the
capture program saved, then you're ready to go, otherwise you'll need to
convert the files that the capture utility saves of each screen with some
utility (Graphics Workshop is definitely the best here, and it's shareware).
This is probably the only way to go about it, since I seriously doubt that
there's any program out there that can convert straight from BSAVE's to any
standard format.
