For those of you who use Blitz +, is there a FAST way to take a screenshot and send it to a remote computer viewing?

Okay, I am making a VNC...

In the blitz window or the whole screen like "Print Screen"?

So now you're asking to compress an image, right?
Well, there is one userlib I know of that can compress data, and here it is.

I do have another for capturing the desktop, just ask because you said you think you have it.

Okay, is there a special command line that I can use with this proggy?

Okay, how do I get the decls file to work with the B+ code? I have never used a DLL file before...

Thanks for the proggy link and @ byddboy, thanks!

I know the help is directed at webmaster, but Firemaker, is there any external DLL I can use within B3D to also capture the desktop's buffer? I would be interested in that.

webmaster,

Just drop "bz2.decls" and "libbz2w.dll" into your "userlibs" directory inside the Blitz installation folder. Restart Blitz, and you'll be read to use the commands!

Don't forget the delcs file, too.

I got that compressor to work. Thanks!

However, now that I kninda know how to use a decls file, I am having trouble making a DLL with c++ to work with it.

In C++, how do I get the blitz/decls file to give a string to the c++ file and get it to generage output back to the decls file?
