GRABBER

This routine allows you to load in an ordinary SCREEN$, then draw a

box around the portion of the screen you want to grab and, um, grab it

to memory. The data is stored as consecutive bytes (eg. if your sprite

box is ten squares long, the next line of the sprite will be stored at

the start+11th byte). Type in the name of the screen you want to grab

from and the address where you'd like the sprite data to be stored.

Then, once the screen is loaded, use keys Q, A, O and P to travel

round the screen. Press SPACE to enter grabbing mode, and define your

sprite box. Finally press SPACE and Grabber will store the sprite data

at the address you typed in earlier.
