Description
SCR Files are written by a screen shot utility
called CAPTURE, included in some of the DOS Versions of Microsoft Word.
SCRs are derived PCX files. Notice that CAPTURE can also write ASCII dumps
in .LST files. |
Basic
File Format
Same as PCX
except:
< Signature > = $CD.
< BytesPerScanline > may be odd, therefore
there are no filler bytes in the Raster Data. Many programs will still
read it though.
< Compression > = 1 Data is always
stored RLE Encoded. |
Raster
Data encoding
see PCX
for details. Lines are never padded with a zero. |
Portability
SCR files are a specialty to Microsoft's CAPTURE.
You should put no effort to write files of this type, and little to read
them, since the DOS Word close to becoming an extinct species. |
Trademarks,
Patents and Royalties
To my knowledge: none.
