   Ian, you're probably the one person in the world who might have this source   
   code already...

   It was a conversion format for SuperConvert - designed to turn a captured text   
   screen image into a pixel-perfect graphic image, taking into account all of   
   the relevant settings, such as system language.  It was intended to work with   
   a utility called The    
   Desktop Manager, which could take such screenshots, although the file format   
   was just a raw dump of text screen memory, so you could just as easily use   
   BSAVE from Basic.  I assume the target market was people doing documentation   
   for text-based software -    
   but I certainly no longer have any record of the conversations that led to   
   this feature being implemented, so we may never know.
