/* Alternate-Help to disk: This program is designed to automatically dump whatever is on the screen to a DEGAS file. It is designed to run from an AUTO folder. This program will write the file, PICDUMP.PIn (n according to the screen resolution being displayed whenever ALT-HELP is pressed) to the root directory of the drive that held the auto folder which contained this program at startup. The normal hardcopy operation is restored by a warm boot. Uses 1K of RAM. Note- If you dump the screen more than 36 times, the program will very likely crash. -- David Mace, 12 JAN 1990. */ #include #include static char pth[20]="A:\\PICDUMP@.PI1"; void dump() { static int c,fd,r,pal[16]; char *pic; r=Getrez(); pth[14]='1'+r; /* Append current resolution to name */ for(c=0;c<16;++c) /* Get pallette */ pal[c]=Setcolor(c,-1); pic=(char *)Physbase(); /* Get location of current screen */ pth[10]++; if(pth[10]>'Z') pth[10]='0'; /* Write picture to path in a DEGAS format */ if((fd=Fcreate(pth,0))>-1) { Fwrite(fd,2L,&r); Fwrite(fd,32L,pal); Fwrite(fd,32000L,pic); Fclose(fd); } } main() { pth[0]='A'+Dgetdrv(); /* Set path to boot drive root directory */ pokel(0x50Al,(long)dump); /* Set prt_vec to my screen dump */ Cconws("\n\rDisplay Dumper installed.\n\rBy David Mace, Jan 1990\n\r"); Ptermres(1024L,0); /* Exit without removing this program */ }
