Hi David

SDL is buffered (dive) and so the picture isn't on the screen in the classic sense. The black screen in Gotcha and other screen capture app is expected as they would need to read the dive buffer to get the image.

Gregg

OK, thanks for the explanation.

Thanks Dave

It is working fine here now.

I upload the package on github, since I have a problems uploading bigger files on these forum. (I'm checking on that, since we updated PHP, maybe there is a setting that needs to be set).

Can you please update any change to the makefile to this repo? Let me know if you are ok with the readme.

There is DIVECapt_2002-03-13.zip on hobbes which captures the full OS/2 desktop.

DIVECAPT /H shows help information. Alas not readable on my system...

The readme looks fine though I did link to Digi's SDL12.dll rather then the RPM, at least I meant to.
I'm having a problem pushing my change, which is basically just a new Makefile.os2. I've tried a bunch of times including cloning the repository 3 times and last I tried simply rm Makefile.os2 and pushing that. Always get this error,
Code: [Select]
C:\...\GAME-SDL-EDUCATIONAL-Marryampic2>git push

Makefile attached if you want to try pushing it.

Thanks, that does work. Having a hard time translating the Japanese. When you run DIVECAPT /h, a directory is created, DIVECAPT with the help in text and html, the html displays fine in SeaMonkey and looks like japanese but Google says it can't translate it. Closing the editor also deletes the directory so keep the editor open to play with the HTML.
Perhaps Google hates,
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//Microsoft//DTD Internet Explorer 3.0 HTML//EN">

When the text is mostly Japanese.
