[ARC5] Screen "grab" in/from DOS.

[Leslie Smith]

  Dear list-readers,
  I wish to "grab" a screen and save it on disk.

  I have an old but functional CAD package that works very well - but in
  DOS.  
  One disadvantage is that I can't "export" a file in a graphics format.
  In contrast I have and use TinyCAD - a Windows based program. 
  I can "export" a selected area on the screen as a *.png graphics file,
  - but not in DOS/OrCAD.

  At other times I "grab" a file (a complete "image" of my screen) using
  Irfan view and ctrl + F11.
  Doing this I can save anything on the screen - except when I'm using
  ORCAD.
  ORCAD thinks it owns my keyboard and won't give it up to Irfanview. 
  (grrrr!)

  So - does anyone here have an idea how I might do "grab" the screen
  using DOS/OrCAD?
  At the moment, when I want to "grab" a circuit I've drawn I print it,
  photograph it, transfer the file to disk and - it's done.
  I have many drawings using this old format, and I'd like to post these
  online at times.
