To those who have tried to get screen shots for their games on www pages or
other things... you probably know of the utility Screen Capture 2.0.  This
is a great utility and the authors are to be commended... but unfortunately
the program cannot operate if graphics memory is altered directly... that
puts out a lot of stuff, and anything using NASR ( DOH! )


I would suggest that all ZS programmers place a screen-capture handler
inside their programs, possibly inside a resume-game-after-pause loop.
Possibly dumping the screen mem to a string and setting an internal flag,
then sending the string back into graph-mem before dropping back to ZShell...


Thanks to everyone for listening to my rant :),
