: I believe every lang able to use OS API should be able; this creates anyway a "strong" system dependency, unless one can achieve the task using portable toolkit; e.g. GTK (GDK exactly?) should make it possible, and the solution should work on every system with GTK...? (Maybe!) If a system allows the existence of a "snapshot" software (to take picture of the whole screen or of a particular window), then this task is not unsecure. --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 10:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
:: Whoops seen now the Tcl solution using xwd to take a snapshot! I think it's a good solution.= --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 10:51, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 
=MUMPS=
I elected to omit MUMPS from the task, even though somebody else somewhere may be able to write code that performs this task. The implementations I am used to work on character cell screens (yes it is an old language). I do have the $X and $Y variables that tell me (mostly) where the cursor is on the screen, but I'm not even sure I can read the device to get what character is there - and I'm fairly certain I can't get color information.
