SUMMARY
PRNTSCRN.COM is a terminate-stay-resident (TSR) MS-DOS program used to
select and copy screen information from an application that is not based on
Windows to the Windows Clipboard. PRNTSCRN.COM also performs automatic
conversion from the MS-DOS DBCS code page to the Big-5 code page.
CONVERT.COM is an MS-DOS program that converts a DBCS text file from one
DBCS code page to another. See the manual of Chinese Windows version 3.1
SDKE for information about the functions provided in OEM_BIG5.DLL, a
Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL) that contains functions to convert
characters, strings, or buffers from Big-5 to another DBCS code page, and
vice versa.
MORE INFORMATION
The prntscrn utility is contained in a single MS-DOS executable file named
PRNTSCRN.COM. Note that prntscrn is an MS-DOS program, not a Windows
program. When first invoked from the MS-DOS command line, prntscrn installs
itself as a terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program. Subsequent invocation is
via either the CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT (full-screen) or CTRL+INSERT (selected
block) key combinations.
Prntscrn copies text from MS-DOS screens to the Windows Clipboard, with two
important additional features: Automatic conversion from the user's DBCS MS-
DOS code page to the Windows Big-5 code page.
Prntscrn works only in text mode, English or Chinese. It must be able to
differentiate graphics mode from Chinese systems' text modes. If invoked
when the screen is in graphics mode, Prntscrn ignores the invocation
keystroke and passes it on. Prntscrn works with Windows running in Standard
or Enhanced modes. It can load either before or after Windows loads.
