available, either. Sometimes, these programs include a built-in screen save
feature; otherwise, capturing a screen will take special measures.
One way to capture most otherwise un-grabbable super-res screens is via a
ProDOS-8 super-res utility which can save the super-res screen. The utility must
be one which does not, itself, change the super-res screen upon startup (e.g.
Nibble's SuperPac or a save/disp program you write yourself).
Make sure your Startup Slot is set to Slot 5. Start the game, etc. as
usual. At some point insert a bootable ProDOS-8 diskette with the super-res
disp/save utility into Slot 5, Drive 1. When you see the display you want to
grab (and you are sure no Disk writes are occuring) do an OpenApple-CTRL-Reset
boot, start the disp/save program and save the screen. Obviously, a disadvantage
of this approach is that you get kicked out of whatever game, etc. you are
running at the time of the boot.

You can get the ScreenPrint NDA, and save the screen to a file, or print it
out.

In addition to several CDA's and NDA's, you might want to try Ninjaforce's
PicRipper program (useful for games and demos that lock out interrupts,
rendering any desk accessories useless). It can grab Super-Hi-Res images still
in memory and save them to disk. It is available at:

Try the SHR Capture CDA which allows you to enter the Control Panel and
save as many screen pictures as you want. For programs which disable the Control
Panel, you will need PicRipper2 or Antic's PicSaver, however.
Most of the screen capture programs mentioned here can be downloaded from
Ground's mirror of Marvin's Apple II Infinitum:
http://www.apple2.org.za/mirrors/ground.icaen.uiowa.edu/Mirrors/uni-kl/gs/
from the graphics/screensavers/ folder or
from the graphics/misc/ folder.
