Hmmm... If you want a screen grab, use a screen grabber (first idea)

If you want a solid style ascii (ie GIFscii conversion) converted into an image
similar to what it would have been converted from (thats if it was a conversion
<g>) then use ASC2PIC...

My ideas...... I await the ideas of others.

Well, what I do is view the ANSI in an ANSI viewer in a window not full screen,
and just press the print screen button (WIN95), this makes a screen capture of
the entire screen. Then select your favorite graphics program (WIN95) and paste
from the clipboard.
