 Print Screen to File Re-direct????

I need help with a problem.  I had, at one time, a small TSR to re-direct the
print screen to a file for later use.  This was written in C by a friend while
I was in school.  I have since lost the program and lost touch of the friend.  
Is there anyone out there who can give me some ideas.  My C is a little rusty,
but improving.

Why re-invent the wheel?  Get prn2file.zip from your favorite Simtel
archive, or archie for it.  It's in the msdos/printer directory.

While such a daemon _can_ be written in C, this isn't a C language
question. The folks in comp.os.msdos.programmer, I'm sure, would be
happy to help you.

It should be a simple matter of catching the PrtSc signal, reading
the framebuffer and outputting this to a file.

Best regards.
