I'm trying to dump the contents of a screen running in dosbox into a plain ascii file. It's a text application, so there's no graphics to worry about, but I'm looking for a buffer or something which contains all the text on the screen. Also if i can get access to the attributes buffer for each char for things like foreground colours etc. that would be real handy.

Does anyone know where these are stored?
