Do you mean:
a) You need a screenshot of something running in Blitz mode
b) You need a screenshot of an application written in blitz basic
c) You want to write a blitz basic program which is a screengrabber
For a you need an action replay type thing, or perhaps some low level copper
ripper? I suppose you could also get as much of the screen as you can and then
paste the bits together in a paint program (bits - I mean if you have dual
playfield, or copper displays).
For b, download SGrab from Aminet, it kicks ass :)
For c, I guess you could copy the screen bitmap into a blitz bitmap and then
save the IFF file. You might get problems if you just do ScreensBitMap, as if
it is interleaved, blitz gives you a bitmap which is 4* as wide (or somthing),
so you will actually need to use BltBitMap_ or something. Then just save the
bitmap as normal. I don't know how you'd manage to grab a copper display type
of screen though.
