Text from a DOS Application

Capture the contents of a full screen MS-DOS session window. SnagIt automatically inverts the colors of the capture.

  You must press the <Print Screen> key to capture the DOS application.

Setup Instructions

1.   In SnagIt, select Text capture mode.

2.   For the Input, select Advanced > Full-screen DOS. This will automate two SnagIt parameters:

•      The Input is set to Clipboard.

3.   Select the Output.

4.   Select Effects > Layout to remove blank lines or columns.

5.   Open MS-DOS to the screen to capture. Click <ALT + ENTER> to change between windowed MS-DOS mode and full-screen MS-DOS.

6.   Press the <Print Screen> key. The capture is sent to the selected Output.
