Subject: Snipper
In directory pd1:<msdos.screen> we now have:
SNIPPR22.ZIP TSR to save part of screen to disk/print/keybd
SNIPPR23.ZIP TSR to save part of screen to disk/print/keybd
These are both based on the PC Magazine original and are complete with
MASM source. The trouble is that version 2.3 doesn't have all the
improvements and fix for one serious nested INT call that were
introduced in version 2.2.
Anyone of you MASM gurus out there care to take on the task of merging
them?
I will forward replies so we don't have duplicate efforts.
This is a great program. One thing I'd like to see fixed, however, is
the removal of trailing spaces when saving the screen.

Jude, I agree and take it one step further. Because of the direct
screen writes snipper won't work with DESQview. I'd like to see that
fixed.
Timo pointed out that some text editors like QEdit can be configured
to remove trailing spaces. True. I use QEdit. But it's annoying to
have to remember that the file must be edited even if it contains
exactly what you want in the way of text, just to get rid of the
trailing spaces. Snipper shouldnt be saving them.

Toad Hall Solution: snipper v2.4.
One thing, though: snipper hasn't had direct screen writes for a
long time, if at all! Nothing from v2.2 on up! Only BIOS calls
are used.
Disclaimer: I have no way of testing snipper with anything but
monochrome (e.g., no CGA, egc.).
